I have read the school of pipsology several times and I have a few ideas for strategies, but I am having a hard time finding a backtesting charting setup that I can manually move forward one candle at a time, that’s free. Can anyone reccomend a site where I can do that, and have a selection of indicators?
Yeah, I am looking for the exact same thing. Any help would be appreciated.
By the way, what packages did you find that had this capability and were not free? What kind of cost was associated with them?
Thanks,
Dave
Most traders use Metatrader 4 from one of the many online brokers, it’s a free download and has plenty of options with it, also there’s a builtin strategy tester so you can backtest your ideas.
I use TradeStation.
If you subscribe, it’s like $249+/month. The Forex data is free, but other data you have to pay for.
If you open an account and deposit funds with them, their platform is $99.95/month which is waived if you do a minimum amount of trading per month through them.
To me, it’s probably the best backtesting/automation platform out there. But check them out when you have a chance and decide for yourself.
