Low cost charts and platform for YM newbie

Recommended Posts

Greetings from Melbourne, Australia ...

As a spot-FX punter, I used the metatrader-4 platform and have come to value the following features:

+ free download

+ reasonable charting

+ demo accounts

+ build custom indicators

+ build custom experts

+ backtesting ( a bit dodgy )

+ trading interface

I am looking to educate myself on trading the YM and would very much appreciate suggestions on a free/low-cost platform (like metatrader) which I could use whilst learning this instrument. Possible features include:-

+ reasonable charts + indicators

+ backtesting

+ demo account/simulator

+ trading interface

 

Thanks in advance to all

Welcome to TL! :)

 

I know thinkorswim.com gives you the trading platform, reasonable charts and indicators, demo account...but they don't have a backtesting setup. As for something that's free that will give you backtesting.......I'm lost on an answer unfortunately. I know TradeStation is like the king in backtesting and coding worlds. I personally use InvestorR/T from linnsoft.com and love them, but they aren't a brokerage. Just charting with custom indicator possibilities as well as backtesting performance of trading systems.

 

And for YM, you've come to no better place than TL! Lots of YM traders and the founder, SoulTrader, is one of the best YM traders around :)

 

Welcome!
