Backtesting for beginners

I agree with you, it’s really very powerful backtesting software.
Did you know that they released Forex Tester 4?
This version has good new features, like MT4 to FT4 EA / Indicator converter, Forex news, Visual Strategy builder, etc.

I recently just started using myfxbook because it literally tracks everything for you. I use my journal to record my trading ideas and notes on the trade, why I won and why I lose, etc and even include a screenshot of the setups

Oh that’s cool. I’ve heard about them for years, but never tried them out. I’ll have a look, thanks!
