Hi Guys!
I am looking for a way to forward test a system in a way that looks and feels like the next best thing to the real thing. Let me explain what I mean by that.
Currently I am using the MT4 platform and have found a few drawbacks on trying to forward test.
What I really need is a way to:
If you know of a way in which I could make it work on MT4 please let me know.
If it isn’t possible to do it on MT4 the way described above then you might know of software that you've used yourself and would recommend.
If there is anything that I haven't taken into account in your opinion please let me know.
Many thanks your help is greatly appreciated.

I am looking for a way to forward test a system in a way that looks and feels like the next best thing to the real thing. Let me explain what I mean by that.
Currently I am using the MT4 platform and have found a few drawbacks on trying to forward test.
What I really need is a way to:
- Buy, sell, and place orders, set up S/Ls & T/Ps in the past with dummy money and play the scenario forward bar-by-bar, as if having placed a real trade.
- Swaps taken into account (never mind that different brokers have varying swaps I just need an idea).
- To take out micro, mini and standard lots.
- Switch between different time frames without the platform hopping forward in time but staying put and only revealing the last candle at that exact point in time ( thats what happens on MT4 when I use the current data and if I use historical data I can't switch time frames)
- To import and run .mq4 files
- Make use a whole range of standard tools/indicators like Fibos, Bollinger Bands, Moving Averages, Force Index etc
This is what I need and nothing less will do.
If you know of a way in which I could make it work on MT4 please let me know.
