The PCA for Windows Online Manual

Running Simulations

On the left side of the PCA in the Navigation Tabs you will find one called "PCA Simulator", Click that and then select the top link in the navigation window called "Simulator".

Now you should be looking at the simulator screen, in the top tool bar, enter a ticker symbol in the dropdown box provided. (see below)

The PCA system will be set by default to simulate 500 shares of the stock over a one year period, backwards from today. You can now run the simulation by entering a ticker symbol and hitting the "Enter" key on your keyboard.

The PCA will go to the online data source and retrieve the historical quotes and analyze the data with the PCA algorithm. This process wil take just a few seconds and the outputs will pop into the simulator screen.

You can also select for the PCA to retrieve data from any time period by clciking the from date button and the to date button

Clicking one of the date buttons shown below will open the calendar shown at the right. You can select the year from the dropdown box and MUST select a date on which to start or end the simulation data query.
	You can also select the type of data you want, Daily, Weekly or Monthly (select the type of data you want first or else the dates will reset by default)

Now you are ready to read the output from the simulation. Run your mouse over the various sections to get "pop up" text about that section.
