Help with Backtesting

[chris2980 10]

I was wondering if anyone who is better writing code than I am would be willing to help me backtest my strategy through a backtester that you've possibly already created. My strategy is relatively simple and straight-forward and could possibly benefit both of us. I can of course manually backtest, but was hoping to get results over a larger time period. If anyone is willing to do this please let me know.

Just download/install NinjaTrader and get a Zen-Fire demo account. You can "reup" the demo account every other 30 days or so (for now).

If you trade the Forex Market you can use Simple Forex Tester where you can save and review your results.

I can do this for you but I can't invest masses of time in helping you develop your strategy if it doesn't work. If you're just wanting a simple backtest running then PM me. You'll need to state clear system rules, instrument(s), timeframe(s), and whether you want any slippage or commissions deducting, and also how you'd like limit orders to be filled in backtesting (trade-through or at-limit).

I can help you with that as well with same conditions as BlueHorseshoe.
