Hi Guys, I have coded several stratagies in Empty4, but backtesting on this platform is awful. I am therefore looking at other plaforms to test me ideas preferablly a languague as close to MQL/basic as possible, then resort back to Empty4 Does anyone have any opinions in the other backtesting platforms out there: Forextester, Ninjatrader, MultiCharts,Tradtionstation etc.... I have not looked at MT5 was there much improvement? Any feedback would be most appreciated.. Take Care ww x P.S I have put this post in this thread as I am looking from coding perspective as well as backtesting, hope that is ok |

The PIE and RTM guys in FF are very happy with forex tester 2. However they do not automate their system. |

Zorro is great for backtesting. You can do multiple pairs, walk forward analysis and optimization in a fraction of the time. The catch--learning how to do all their scripts. |

I've used amibroker, the backtester is great and the language is easy. It is just a pain in the ass to get the data into it, but if you decide on this I can point you to some info on that. I recall you can export from Empty4 and import to Ami. I think the demo lets you do all you want as well (I actually bought the pro version years ago) Gary has also used that platform I think. Use Google advanced search to search this site for tradestation or amibroker and backtest. or just click this |

This is a pretty cool tool for doing a manual back test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DxjpFD6AL0 It's very user friendly compared to some similar ones I have seen |

This is a commercial product but looks interesting. I like the fact it will show past news events which makes visual back-testing easier: http://www.spheretester.com/ |
