I have been looking into mechanical systems recently and would like the opinion of some people who know. For back and forward testing of systems would you recommend I use Amibroker, some equivalent to Amibroker or mql5? I have started learning C++ and as I have some programming experience, albeit a long time ago, I am finding it fairly straightforward. This would lead me towards mql5 as I have heard it is based on C++ but would it be easier in the long term to use a different solution for programming and testing systems?
Also it would make life easier to be able to have the computer do the trading for me (with supervision of course). Is this an option with Amibroker or would I ultimately have to code an EA for mt5 anyway? The systems I am interested in are based on daily charts (think Donch channels) so I would just need to check the functioning of the EA on a nightly basis.
