Hi,

I really like how MT4 allows you to manually backtest things, however, I find it annoying that I have to set up for a demo account with one of the brokers that work with MT4 if I want to use it, since I am already with another broker.

So before switching to another broker in order to use MT4, I was wondering if there was any other charting system that would allow you to manually back test methods without having to sign up with another broker.....

All I want is good charts with the ability to scroll back and forth to test things out..oh and free

I have MT4 but unless I sing up with a broker, all I can see is 4h charts and the latest results are 1 month back....

Hi MrFuture,

I'm not sure why you give so much fuss about signing up with a demo account with another broker.

If you want to get the above, just download MT4 from strategybuilderfx.com (you can try others but I use this broker because their demo account doesn't expire) and just fill up the form (attached image) after installing the platform and viola! Free good charts!

I setup a demo using the MetaQuotes feed and was able to go back to february 2005 on a 15 minute chart.

MetaTrader is kind of cool because you can get a demo without having to go to each vendor's site and downloading a seperate installation. One installation of MetaTrader is all you need. I explain how to do this on this thread: http://www.forexfactory.com/forexfor...ead.php?t=5293.

I have a host of vendors setup and can configure a demo on demand, whenever I need to.
