Backtesting questions

Hi All,

Is it possible backtest on the below entry technique based on
1. Support and Resistance
2. Trendline
3. Fibonacci Analysis

Can I automate the testing or it will have to be done manually ?

Are you talking about a manual strategy or have you put together an Expert Advisor or script?

I'd recommend forward testing everything, even on a micro acct, with 1000 trades. That's me though.

Don't spend too much time backtesting - forward testing so SOOO much more important. OK, with backtesting you can get a BASIC understanding of the viability of a trading set-up.

Forward testing on a demo account - or better still in my view, on a live account with the smallest possible trade size - is where you really see the viability of your trading method. If it looks good with your $1 contracts, then gradually inch it up - reward your success on a monthly basis by gradually increasing contract size, but only where that REWARD is justified.. yes, a potentially long process, but there are no shortcuts here - it needs to be done properly.
