I had no idea you could connect to the FXCM server with Metastock. I was under the impression you had to use Reuters or some other data service. Is that what your referring to? I've used Metastock some and I know they have systems that backtest for you. I'd love to use Metastock for Forex but of course there is a fee to do so. I've understoood that their backtesting for equities should work for any market. Let me know if I'm on the right track.

i do use metastock for Forex. If you want i can teach you how to upload the historical data.

But I don't know Metastock formular to put in for backtesting of my system.

You know how to backtest? if yes, please teach me how to backtest.

I would be interested in how that is done. Actually, I have the Trade Oracle plug-in for Metastock which does everything automatically. It actually tests 90 systems and backtests them as far as you like(or you data permits). Beyond that I'm not really sure how you would backtest normally. Do I understand you have your own system? I'll do some research-I've added one system on my own and I'll see what I did for that. I also have end-of-day which may not work for you. You do have the manual? If you bought it from Equis maybe they can help.

Hi goodchong, you also mentioned using Metatrader. There is a demo through FXCM vailable for Metatrader 4 that you can use for backtesting. Here's where you can register for the demo . Do you have your strategy programmed into MQL to backtest?
