Methods to back test a strategy - (manually)
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2009 7:20 am
Dear all
Can someone advice me on how to back test a strategy manually? The reason is because i don't know much about coding.
1) I would like to back test a strategy by running through for 1 year. However, i always have this problem of getting to that specific date to start with. Is there a way that i can zoom straight to a specific date so that i can continue? Ie, 01-01-2008?
2) Is there an easier method to test a strategy without running through the EA?
Appreciate your advice
Thanks
Ron
