now lets talk about its User interference,which personally I like it beacuse:
The layout of the Forex Tester 5 is much like that of MetaTrader 4 (MT4). While it’s now not a specific reproduction, users of MetaTrader four will discover foreign exchange Tester acquainted this is a large plus. in case you’re an experienced MT4 person, this familiar layout shortens your learning curve. in case you are a new forex trader, you may very possibly flip to MT4 whilst you need to transit to live buying and selling. using forex Tester will help with a quick transition.

there is a free trial available on their website, but it has limitations. you can test no more than 1 month of historical data uninterruptedly for no more than 1 hour. this tool is vital for me; that’s why I bought the full version

I used various backtesting software to test my strategies, such as fxsimulator, soft4fx, traingview, simplefxtester and others. And I want to tell you that the forex tester is also on my top list :top::+1:

That’d be a great topic tbh. To share your opinion or pros/cons of each tool would be very interesting to read about.

TradingView gives me great pleasure. You can use it on almost any device with a browser, and you don’t need to install any software. This is great for charting and trading.

Forex Tester comes in second because it is very well integrated but still only works on Windows. You can also load many different data feeds from the program, making it more valuable than the other software on the list. Forex Tester Data Service allows you to download data from multiple brokers right into the software. This saves a lot of time because you don’t have to search for third-party data and then store it on your computer.

Soft4X is the best value for money. It provides two built-in data load sources, which is enough for most users to get started. You can also upload your data to MT4 if you want to test data from other brokers.

Why backtesting? It’s not a panacea. It’s better to test everything on demo

Backtesting is not a magic wand. However, there is no need to spend centuries while waiting for results from demo or live accounts. Plus, no one wants to lose their money. It’s quite risky to go live without checking your idea on history.

I join hands with @zubi950. You can think of me as a total old-school trader but I believe that if the strategy performed well in the past, it’ll be OK in real trading. I have seen this in practice.
