Method Tester?

Is there such a program that would take one's trading method, apply it to historical charts, and produce an outcome of what would have happened using the method?


Or do I have to do this all by hand?

BTW first post (thanks admin and stockwet/smjones), great board!

What you are talking about is Backtesting. You can program VT trader or MT4 to do this. I do all my back testing in AmiBroker, but you need to know how to program to write the instructions to perform your method. There is also Strategy builder at Metatrader's web site, but I have not used this however, others could tell you about it...

Thanks Scott
