Hi Christian,

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, this should be very good for what you want to test. It will allow you to manually take trades and set your entries and exits.

If you have any doubts, I would try the free demo download that they have. It will allow you to run through one month’s worth of data and test the software.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I will be happy to address them.

Thanks,
Hugh

Hi,

I wonder if this program works for my purpose. I have setups which I enter manually and set a stop loss manually. What I like to do is testing different exit strategies based on these entries. So would the programm allow me to test for example the two fold of my chosen SL? Or a ATR as SL and a crossing in moving averages as exit?

Nice blog btw and good luck for your trading.

Regards
Christian

No problem, I would be happy to help you. First of all, check out the videos on how to backtest here:

http://www.tradingheroes.com/forex-back-testing-software-placing-orders

They do not have sound, only instruction bubbles, so it still may be a little confusing.

What strategy are you trying to test? If you let me know, I can make a customized video just for you on how to start testing your strategy.

If I don’t hear from you, I will do a video anyway because there are probably other people out there who are a little confused as to how the software works.

Don’t worry, it took me a little time to get used to it too.

So look out for a video later this week or early next week.

Thanks for your comment!
