How about building a backtester

Hi,
what do you guys think of building our own backtester, so any csv/tab delimited timeseries from text files can be accurately tested on a tick-by-tick basis with the standard .mq4 EA?

How much work would that be? And what would it be worth...

Would that be something you are interested in?

If you want to test tick data, you can do that in Metatrader itself. See
Using real tick data in backtest / Forum: Forex Trading with MetaTrader 4
FXTticksCollector - MQL4 Code Base

to start.

Building a seperate program to run backtests would be tricky because you'd have to have someway of either compiling mql4 or decoding ex4. Either would take a lot of work.

hi

it's not necessary you can import all csv files to MT4 and back test it
