Backtesting/Optimization platforms

I've discovered that MT4's genetic algorithm isn't fantastic, running the same optimization several times often produces different optimal parameters so I'd prefer to use the 'brute force' approach.

Naturally this means many more combinations of parameters tested and the only way to do it within a reasonable timeframe is to parallelize the task and distribute it across multiple machines.

Is there a platform out there capable of doing this? I've Googled extensively but either I'm using the wrong keywords, or the platform doesn't exist.

Any insight greatly appreciated!

Hello, mattyc.

I am currently using forex tester 2 to backtest very basic trading habit -- I am a complete noob. Perhaps, it will be easier for you to backtest your strategy in this programm. However, there is a need to change the code between mt5 and forex tester 2.

I have got the question about forex tester?

Does anyone know how to place alerts in it?
