Oct 26, backtesting, 9: I want to backtest a strategy in Forex, but am not quite sure about how to go about it. There are a number of ways that spring to mind. Export data to Excel and analyse it by means of self written functions could be difficult to construct the correct functions, and metatrader well be reinventing the wheel 2. Are there any handy references anywhere that explain in simple language how to write in the MT4 language? Last edited by Fish; Oct 27, at 9: Oct 27,9: I've exported the data into Excel, but suspect that the pattern recognition functions are difficult to mimic. Which looks like it leaves options 2 or 3. Are there any good sources on the web for describing the use of the MT4 language? Forget backtesting in MT4. It is quite useless and will lead you to think that you will be a millionaire in weeks. Can't comment on other platforms like Tradestation or e-Signal. Oct 30,4: QUOTE] Which ever method you use metatrader the data in half, develop a strategy on one and test on the other half. Never ever develop and test on the same set of data. Never miss out the spread. There are fantastic results to be had if you do this and you will waste time. Slippage on forex is not so bad as equities, I ignore it. Keep the original data safe, get it from a metatrader source. Ideally get the data from whoever you are going to trade with so you know their prices. Yahoo, Dukascopy and Oanda are all different. Don't mess with it. Think about how you are going to apply this, metatrader it is an api then learn to program in a language that will let you use that api and back test with the same code. Oct 31,7: Backtesting in MT4 is not useless, you just have to know the limitations of forex system of which there are a few. Obvously any forex which makes billions is exploiting flaws in the MT4 backtester. Dec 1,5: Jan 12, I don't know how to code an EA for Backtesting, but there's a great EA called VHands which allows you to replay market action! Basically, you download the data for the pair, in the timeframe you want, and then control the speed of action. Forex can pause the data and put indicators on the chart as usual. I've only been playing with it for a few weeks, but to download it and find out all backtesting info you need, follow this link: VHands Trading Simulator This is the best way of backtesting any trading strategy, as you can play out market action as though were watching it for the first time.
