    Default Please, help with Charts

    I'm very very very new to Forex trading..I've gone through the Babypips School once, I'm going through the second time..will probably go though it as often as I need to. The point is for me to learn right? Anyway, I'm trying to develop a trading strategy and I need to find good charts to back-test with. Could anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks.

    P.S. I hope they're free.

    If you decide to use MT4 than you should turn off the "Chart Autoscroll" by clicking on a chart and choosing properties. Then you can go to the beginning of your data and press F12 to move forward & Shift + F12 to move backward one (candle, bar, line) at a time.

    You might want to try out Ninjatrader too. It's free for backtesting strategies.

    I love NT and hate it with equal measures. MT4 is loads more flexible, but it's far easier to create strategies in NT without needing any programming knowledge.
