however, i am not positive how you import it to MT4.

i actually bought forex tester, and trust me -its worth it. I love this thing.

i hope this helps.

Hi there,

I am curious, do you use ForexTester for testing and MT4 for trading?

What I have found is that the Strategy Tester in MT4 is not that reliable. I have found it put me in or got me out of trades when the market did not even hit the specified price (and yes I accounted for spreads).

Just wanted to know how you are using Forex Tester and if you find the back testing to be reliable.

Thanks!

Yes, I use MT$ for trading (InterbankFX), and Forex Tester for backtesting. I love Forex Tester, because I have one strategy that works fairly well, but am presently am working on a rangebound system.

The best part is that I can replay candles as fast as I want, theefore on a slow market night, I can do several trades to "practice".

There are two versions, the standard and the Lite version. The Lite version does not allow for automated stratgies, so all trades have to be done manually. (Which is fine for now, as I dont have an automated strategy.) However, I went ahead and got the full version so that I could expand if needed.

You can download a demo on the site, the main limitation is that it only allows you to run 10 minutes of data at a time. I only had to run it twice to decide this was a great tool.

As far as backtesting on MT4, I tried it once, and wasn't too impressed.

I know this is a very old post..but I must comment and say that testing my strategies in Forextester is a dream come true.
I can test my hedge strategies, run multi strategies (Robots) at the same time.. Test scalp strategies using real tick data etc.
I wish I had found this thing 2 years ago !!

yup this is an old thread but it looks like the place to ask about forex tester. can someone tell me if you can test ea's on it?

thanks.

Of course you can . . . all you have to do is write them from scratch in C and compile . . . of course some of the functions that your EA relies on in MT4 may not exist for Forextester so you will have to code them too . . .

If anyone wants tick data for MT4 read this: http://eareview.net/tick-data

You can get tick history here. Also there is a program which allows to import tick data into MT4 (I've never seen such functionality before in other products)

I would be intersted to use tick data on MT4 also. I have discussed it with people more into coding than me and have understood that its easier said than done. I would be interested on real time & historical (say 10000 candles) of tick data to be used on a main chart with adjustable settings like 5 or 15 tick candles.

As there undoubtedly be some costs related to programming this (if its even possible), I would be interested to cooperate with others having this kind of interests. So if someone finds this of his/her interest (including you that could code it), please contact me. Maybe we can work something out together.

I have a program which allows to download 1,5 years of good M1 and tick data from different brokers and automatically import these data into MT4, you can download the program here;
see the list of available data here;
to download data you have to be subscribed to the data service, you can buy the subscription here:
you can also download 1 "Trial" month of data

I hope and believe this program will be useful to you.I very want to know opinions about this program.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you
