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.
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.
