Hi James,

It works perfectly fine with futures and intraday data. I use esignal as well. Coding is pretty intuitive. I think they also have a new scripting module, but I have never used it. It does not have a market delta type of indicator, bid or ask volume.

Hi everyone,

Im looking for backtesting software to be used to trade Forex.

Iv had a look at tradestation and from their website it seems like a sweet deal, as you have a broker + backtesting platform + historical and realtime data all from the one source and its only 99/month or free if you trade 10 round lots a month. And they claim their spreads are only 1-2 pips on the top 7 or 8 pairs (I dont know how wide this becomes during quiet session or when there is news - can anyone share their experiences?)

How is tradestation execution as a broker?

Has anybody tried automated trading with them?

Any thoughts or discussion is appreciated. Thank you.

Nizar.

Not withstanding that the question was asked about 10 months ago, you think tradestation is the way to go for international markets? Why do you say that? I thought tradestation only supports the US markets?

For Backtesting within Microsoft Excel, I think TraderCode is great. The backtesting works like a spreadsheet model and no programming is required, simply a set of entry/exit conditions.
