I curretnly use Metatrader like this:

- disable chart autoscroll
- move back the chart to the period where I want to start (somewhere in 2004 usually)
- the current "live" bar is the last visible bar in the right side of the window.
- when pressing F12 the chart is moving one bar in the future.

There you go, pretty handy.

I use this method too. It's not identical to live trading, but, it significantly improved my ability to trade my setups. The one thing I would add is that as you're scrolling forward, try not to look ahead. Ask yourself each time you advance a bar whether or not your signal was valid according to your rules. If so, log it as a trade and then see what happened. I have a database of over 450 trades done this way that gives me great confidence in my system.
