Merging Statistics Requests

This guide explains how to combine two or more calculated Statistics Requests into a single Merged Request.

This feature is essential for simulating portfolio performance and understanding how running multiple strategies concurrently impacts your total equity and risk exposure.

What is a Merged Request?​

A Merged Request aggregates the processed Trades from multiple successfully calculated Statistics Requests and treats them as a single, unified entity.

By nesting these strategies under one umbrella, you can analyze:

  • Combined Drawdown: How overlapping losses between strategies affect your account.
  • Correlation: Whether your strategies complement each other or increase systemic risk.
  • Portfolio Equity: The simulated growth of an account trading all selected signals simultaneously.

Creating a New Merged Request​

To merge your strategies, navigate to the My Statistics Requests page and follow these steps:

  1. Select Requests: Activate the checkbox on the left-hand side for two or more Request rows you wish to combine.
  2. Initiate Merge: Click the Merge button located in the action bar at the top left of the data grid.
  3. Configure Parameters:
    • Name: Assign a unique name to the Merged Request.
    • Initial Account Size: Define the starting capital for the combined simulation.
    • Risk-Free Rate: Set the benchmark rate for Sharpe Ratio and other calculations.
  4. Analyze: Once submitted, you will be redirected to the dedicated Merged Request dashboard where the aggregated metrics are displayed.

Accessing the Merged Requests List​

While individual Statistics Requests are kept on the My Statistics Requests page, your Merged Requests are stored separately to maintain a clean workspace.

To view your list of combined strategies:

  1. Locate the Navbar at the top of the Tick2Tick Dashboard.
  2. Click on the Statistics dropdown menu.
  3. Select Merged Requests from the list or follow this link.

Details Page​

Similar to a standard Statistics Request, a Merged Request features a comprehensive Details page containing equity curves, trade lists, and periodic analysis.

For a deep dive into how to interpret these metrics, please refer to the Viewing a Request's Details documentation.

Note: Merging Requests does not alter the original Parent Requests, it simply creates a new virtual view of the combined data.
