Back-testing

Back-testing is an important part of trading. It facilitates testing to see whether a strategy is profitable and helps one gain valuable screen time rapidly.

Here are two simulators that one can run within Metatrader 4's strategy tester
Most of the indicators work in the simulator. You will need to set the SimMode input parameter to true for the Xi-dashboard, Xi-AsianSession and the BN-Levels indicators. The bar-time left and the ask price are not available in simulation mode and the spread is set at a fixed value. You can use the 'pause/break' key on the keyboard to pause and resume the simulation and you can single-step through ticks/bars with the F12 key.
