Best Way To Backtest?

Hello!

What is the best way how to backtest your own, simple advisors?
I want to backtest, for instance, two moving average crossovers + one other indicator.

I saw this "strategy test" option on MT4, but when you want to modify the Advisor, you have to rewrite the code yourself and it seems complicated.

What do you think?

Thanks!

Hi, it seems that you know little about MetaTrader and less about the tester.

Maybe you should start by becoming more familiar with the tester and then learn MQL language if you would like to modify your advisors.
Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication.

Yes, I agree, I do not know lot about either MT and testers.
I have found those visual EA builders where you can create EA without the knowledge of coding, so basically I have found the answer to my own question.
