How to validate a DAILY trading strategy?

Hi,

I'm struggling with this, because the only ways I see is to manually check historical charts or demo trading. Since it's daily, I think demo trading will take too long and so it's not practical. Manually checking the charts is the only way?

What do you think?

You're either going to have to back-test or demo trade, there is no third way.
Both of these are obviously tedious and error-prone without automation.
If you are going to do it manually, then keep the results in Excel (or something similar) which will allow you to track the statistics for a given strategy and make a decision about using real money. If you search back though my posts, I detail how I do this, which may give you some ideas.

Ok thanks, I think I'll just make an excel sheet.
