Yes, I am going to add an open interface to connect to any broker soon and datafeeds. I am planning this.

Hello,

Is there any updates to the program or what is the current status of the program. I am greatly interested in this for hopefully making an easy way to test the combination of indicators for EA developement.

Thanks

Ver 1.0 Build 7 (25.08.2006)

Code:

1.  Added new function to strategy interface to control indicators. Now you
    can get indicator value from any indicator attached to the program in your
    strategy.

2.  In order window added new buttons to get price directly from chart. Order
    window will be hided and selected price will be represented as a horizontal
    line with price and number of points from current price. It is much more
    convenient than typing price manually.

3.  Added option to adjust levels in oscillators. 

4.  Added new functions to indicators' interface - IndicatorDigits and
    Timeframe (to get indicator timeframe). 

5.  Added new indicators: CCI, Price Channel, Price Daily Range,
    Rate Of Change (ROC), AMA, On Balance Volume (OBV),
    Accelerator Oscillator (AC).

Created strategy that can import statements from MetaTrader in HTML format and than trade according this statement in Testing mode like real trader does. It is interesting to see how trader made his trade in real time or in fast mode. Also you will have full statistics and Balance/Equity/Margin/Drawdown diagrams. I think it will be very good feature for investors that have to process a lot of MT4 statements manually (I received a lot of requests from such investors).

Working algorithm:

- Loading statement in MT4 HTML format (also you can load Forex Tester history from "History.dat")

- You can define minimum deviation of time from order open time in both directions in minutes. It is important to open an order in this interval by OpenPrice precisely. If there was no such price in this interval then order is ignored.

- For every tick strategy goes through the orders list and see if current time is in the order open time interval and price is equal to OpenPrice. If so - order will be opened.

- For opened order strategy checks close time, if current time is bigger or equal to order close time - it will be closed.

For precise testing you should generate ticks data by second option in the Ticks generation form (point by point). In this case you will have all the prices in minute interval of the bar.

Strategy installation:

- Copy file StatementProcessor.dll into the folder <ForexTester>\Strategies.

- Restart the program.

- Enable it in the Strategy List and enable all strategies execution.

You can download it here:

Hi fellow traders...

I am working on a breakout system and i need a tool to make the backtest more easy so i can see if my theory is stupid or not.

Tool describtion:
What i need is an indicator that draws a line between 2 different times and plot the bottom of price and the top of price between these two times.
A support resistance channel between 2 times so to speak.

I have looked across the internet without any sucsess and i am now hoping that some one at TSD know if there even exist such indicator?

Regards / JoLi

I'm looking for a reliable program that I can use to backtest my strategies with multiple pairs. I'm totally frustrated to MT4's tester and at this point I'm willing to learn a new programming language (it's not a big thing for me) to test my strategies with some decent tester that can handle all the portfolio - in this case all the currency pairs available at my broker or some subsection of them.

So my question is: what is the tester you would recommend? I have been thinking about wealth lab, does anyone have any comments about that? Trading blox also has a platform but I don't know anything about it (except that trading blox is operated by a very bright ex-turtle guy). Does anyone have any other recommendations? Ninja trader? Tradestation?
