I know no one will like to hear this... my problem is that until now, as a poor kitty ( yes, tikitrader is a kitty ) I cannot afford Back testing programs... it is simply out of my budget to pay $ 85 a month for something like xtick... yes I know I need it. I know it is hard to be successful without it... are there any free or much lower cost options...

Well depending on what broker you use you can do back testing with metatrader. I use interbank fx and they offer this free even on demo accounts. So you even if you like your broker you could open a demo to run back tests. Hope that helps
