Hi Luis,

I don’t know if that’s possible, I stopped using TI a long time ago. I would suggest using TradingView for free backtesting: https://www.tradingheroes.com/tradingview-bar-replay/

Hi Hugh.

I just downloaded Trade Interceptor just because i want to use Trader Gym for backtesting purposes, based on an Ichimoku Cloud strategy. Is it possible to use Inchimoku indicator on Traders Gym ??
Thanks

I just downloaded Trade Interceptor and played a bit– it turns out that the data limit (number of days that can be traded) scales with the time frame you use. If you go down to 5M, you can test for a maximum of 150 days. Go up to the highest TF, and you can test 10+ year’s worth. I guess Trade Interceptor might be a functional testbed for traders who are truly longterm investors, but it’s just not very functional for those of us who are interested in scalping/day/swing trading. Thanks for all the good work you’re doing, Hugh; your website is a great resource for those of us out in the darkness learning to trade on our own!

In reply to Miguel Grimalt. Yes, but it's not as easy. Especially with futures, where the contracts expire.

Hello. Is it possible to backtest stocks, indexes, and other markets, besides Forex?

Thank you for your answer

Hey Roberto,

Thanks for sharing. It is certainly a step in the right direction. I hope you keep working on it because we really do need a real browser-based backtesting solution!

Let me know how it goes 🙂

Hi, about a forex backtest software compatible with all OSes I developed a Flash tool and it’s free.
It’s quite limited at the moment but I am working to improve it.
Here it is: http://www.quantumcube.bg

Let me know what you think about it

In reply to Naz. Thanks for the update. It's still less than half of what is available with Forex Tester.

This app actually allows 5 years of back-data; you have to click on the start date and select a past year.

In reply to tadashi kato.

Hi Tadashi,

Cool, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the kind words about the blog.

My ethnic background is Japanese, but I’m 4th generation American. So I understand very little Japanese, maybe first grade level, haha.

Thanks, I appreciate you recommending the site to your friends. Hope your Forex trading is going well!

Hugh
