Where to Simulate the Performance of a Simple Long/Short Trade?

C

Cyrix

Is there a website where I can backtest the historical performance of a long/short trade (for example, long $1k google against short $0.5k ibm, at constant ratio)?

I want to see the historical equity curve and return.

Thanks.
 
Portfolio Visualizer has a "backtest portfolio" function. The only issue is that you need to be net 100% long or net %0 long. You make the long stock +100% allocation and the short stock -100%.
 
I need to make a market neutral trade so it needs to be a fixed ratio long/short allocation. PV probably won't do it.
 
Hi Cyrix,
I doubt that you will find a web-based tool meeting your requirements. But there are a bunch of free-to-use backtesters out there. I am the maintainer of TuringTrader, an open-source backtesting engine, which can certainly do what you want to do... if you can code in C#. It comes with full documentation and lots of sample strategies:
