“Many traders fail to realise that trading is a business and business requires accurate information to make informed decisions.
Stator allows you to do this easily. Stator's impressive array of reports, statistics and charts, as well as the ability to record ones thoughts and reasoning behind every trade, allows me to impartially review my trading so that I may become a more profitable trader.
"Stator is a must have for every
serious trader."
I could not do this without Stator. The impressive software is backed by equally impressive customer support. No other vendor comes close to the product and service. Stator is a must have for every serious trader.”

"….As a DIY Superfund Manager, I required software that has the ability to provide competent and professional resources with objective reports and analytical tools that allows me to effectively examine the funds performance on a monthly basis, outside of the standard qualitative analysis and reports that are readily available in the market.
"For our money, Stator is the product
that is head and shoulders above
all Australian & International products
that we have tested and utilized."
After completing our research and deciding to purchase Stator we tested the product by entering the first twenty four months of our historical trades. To our surprise, we discovered that our fund strategy was deficient in our stop methodology, in trades that we executed.
In addition we discovered that the most profitable trades for the fund where invariably greater than 120 days in duration, based on the trading strategy that we engaged, with and average trade risk of $24,209.23 plus an average risk reward 1.54 and an average Win$ return of 75.23%.
Today, (May 2008) in the ASX corrective market, since October 2007, we have maintained the performance of the fund when the Australian All Ordinary Index has dropped by approximately 20% and most of the Super Funds in Australia are projecting an average reported projected performance of - 6%, in the 2008 April quarter.
Thanks to Stator we have maintained our 75% plus return, managed to limit our exposures by analysing our trading strategies and are now looking forward to an earlier retirement, than initially planned.
"Thanks to Stator we have
maintained
our 75% plus return"
In addition to the above, the “most” important matter from our funds perspective is the after sales helpdesk and technical support that Stator offers to its clients. We have been completely impressed and satisfied by the level of professional expertise and readily available assistance.
For our money, Stator is the product that is head and shoulders above all Australian & International products that we have tested and utilized

As a speculator, I must always know my exposure and my risk. Risk management comes first and always. Stator gives me the tools I need to manage both my market positions and hedges with ease, it also allows me to incorporate multiple accounts from various brokers and view them separately or together.
I trialed 8 other programs while looking for Portfolio Management software that could do what I needed effectively, and let me tell you when I found Stator I was amazed at the functionality. Stator was leaps and bounds ahead of all the programs I tested.
"Stator was leaps and bounds ahead
of all the programs I tested."
Of course Stator has all the normal record keeping abilities that will save you truckloads of time, but where it really comes into its own is with its advanced reporting and statistical functions. Weather you want statistics based on specific systems, accounts or you entire trading history, Stator will give you an in depth analysis of your trading. From simple things like profit and loss, to more complicated variables like Sharpe ratio and Kelly %.
"... Stator has all the normal record
keeping abilities that will save you
truckloads of time, but where it really
comes into its own is with its advanced
reporting and statistical functions."
And as if all of what I have said above isn't enough, if you've got any questions or suggestions for the program, fire an email off to Anthony. Not only will he respond with lightning fast speed, he'll give you the assistance you need to get back on track.
Let me tell you if you are using an excel based system, or any other program to manage your portfolio, do yourself a favour and get Stator. You'll be amazed at the time you will save and the performance increase you will see.

For those that are serious about having their record keeping up to date and having a software program consolidate all records, then this is the software to use.
Many people (myself included) have been playing around with spreadsheets and trying to configure formula’s and all the rubbish that goes with daily record keeping to find out whether we are in front or behind. Not only does stator do that but at a click of a button you have access to any number of perfectly designed reports and charts.
"If you are looking for a clearly defined edge in your trading then the very least you can do is get this software."
Any serious trader will know that the key to winning is in ‘knowing your numbers’ and the numbers never lie. Having coached over 300 people 1 on 1, I always ensure that each client has a detailed record of their numbers before each coaching session. Now with Stator everything is just a click of a button away.
If you are looking to have a clearly defined edge in your trading then the very least you can do is get this software. It will tell you straight away whether your method is viable in the market and if you should continue trading it or not. This type of information is invaluable and can save any trader thousands of dollars and years of heartache.
"... it will tell you straight away whether your method is viable ... This type of information is invaluable and can save any trader thousands of dollars and years of heartache."
Further to that if you trade multiple systems like I do then you will know the frustration of trying to keep records on each individual system and more often than not people give up and put it in the ‘too hard basket’. With stator, keeping your records up to date on any number of systems is a click of a button away and will save you countless hours and will save you from many grey hairs.
I have seriously considered that for any future coaching sessions each client has to have the stator software as this is a very logical progression for all traders. At a glance I can see exactly where the client’s strengths and weaknesses are and Stator can be credited for that.
"... and will save you countless hours and will save you from many grey hairs."
Make your life easier and buy stator.
You will be thankful that you did.

"Stator is a serious tool for serious traders, with a significant wow factor built in. The first time the equity curve built on screen I was hooked. As I continued using Stator to track my systems and found a lot more beyond slick graphs.
"The first time the equity curve built on
screen I was hooked."
Stator minimizes input and maximizes output. Input screens are cleanly designed and easy to use. The inputs for trades, dividends, deposits and withdraws are easy to find and easy to use. The closed trade and open position import tools are a big help in putting Stator to work quickly. There is a rich assortment of outputs for each system. The Statistics tab opens three new tabs: Trade Based, System Based and Income Based. Trade based compares winning trades to losing trades, giving statistics for counts, runs, days in trade, profit, size and costs. System Based provides system wide statistics including duration, trade distribution, drawdown, annual return and Sharpe Ratio. Income Based summarizes total closed profit and dividends received. The performance tab accesses equity curves and trade profit histograms. The graphs are visually appealing, fun to watch as they build, and very useful.
"More than one system can be linked to an account. This is a breakthrough for me as I had given up multiple system accounts as a paperwork nightmare."
Stator is built on systems and accounts. More than one system can be linked to an account. This is a breakthrough for me as I had given up multiple system accounts as a paperwork nightmare. Without Stator each system had its own account and cash balance. Stator's capability of multiple systems in a single account makes a more efficient use capital possible.
The pieces of Stator are well done. However the package, everything working together is what sets it apart. Consolidations of systems to see totals are automatic and sub-consolidations can be set for custom views. The multiple owner capability can be used when managing money for others or to paper trade a proposed strategy. Stator provides investor/traders with the tools to stay on track."

I use a day to a page diary for recording daily candidates and trades, I also record how the XJO is traveling as well. I then use a spreadsheet to record all trades with comments on each trade, this takes up a lot of time but like any business it is the most important part.
"... it is the complete package, from managing risk to reward, money management, portfolio heat ... the list just goes on and on."
Then I found Stator which at first looked expensive compared to using spreadsheets etc, but it is the complete package, from managing risk to reward, money management, portfolio heat, only entering the entry and exit once, attaching charts and files to each trade, analysing each trade or all trades in each system or the whole portfolio, tax reports, the list just goes on and on.
I have found with a little work you can back test discretionary sytems like pattern trading etc.
"I strongly recommend that you trial
Stator for yourself as it makes the
back office part of trading that
a lot easier ..."
I strongly recommend that you trial Stator for yourself as it makes the back office part of trading that a lot easier, more thorough and a concise, honest appraisal of where your trading systems are going.

I have traded CFD's for several months now. A great product, but a nightmare to record, track and monitor.
There are a lot of portfolio management programs that handle conventional share trading, but nothing that I could find that was able to handle the complexities of Contracts for Difference. I.E. Trade long or short and on margin.
After months of fiddling around with spreadsheets, trying to adapt other programs, even trying to write my own in Access (now that was an experience), I went searching the internet. Some months later - BINGO ... STATOR!!!
"Wonder upon wonder! A support
desk that actually gives support!"
I have only had the program for a month and it has lived up to most of my expectations. I say most; because there is always something you want that is not available. But an email to Anthony soon gets me a quick response with possible solutions to my queries. Wonder upon wonder! A support desk that actually gives support!
At the moment I'm only using the software to record my trades, but I'm sure as I get to understand all the other functions that are available, my reliance on the product will only increase. I expect there will be many more emails to Anthony in the future. and I expect, as usual, the answers will be quick and enlightening.
Having read the testimonials listed on your site; I can only concur with the comments that are expressed there.
"If you are a CFD trader - STATOR is
a must have program."
If you are a CFD trader - STATOR is a must have program.
(And who would have thought; search the world and then get what I wanted about 10k away right here in my own home town.)

"I LOVE Stator Pro - it means I can spend more time on testing systems rather than on the associated mundane paperwork of trading.
Now that I am using it, I cannot comprehend how I traded before using it.
"Now that I am using it (Stator PRO),
I cannot comprehend how I traded
before using it."
I can determine in an instant what my risk exposure is. I can instantly display my equity curve. I can instantly view how much of my portfolio is represented by a single position.
In short, all the things which used to take time and fiddling to do now all happen in the blink of an eye. It has made me a better and more disciplined trader."
