I think that the simulator will be perfect to paper trade this strategy. In my opinion you should use a larger timeframe to filter the noise, because you need to have more positions and respectively larger lot size in the direction of the trend. The 1 min does not exactly show trends clearly and spread will be a major issue. Testing will be harder too.
You can also think of managing the lot size. For example you can add ADX, its a very good indicator and calculate the size in each direction depending on its value. Thus in uptrend the long positions will be opened with larger lot size than short positions.
