What you are looking to do is fairly simple, using daily data, and a lot of studies have been done (see Steenbarger). You can open a Tradestation account with or w/o their brokerage acount. Alternatively, if you are just testing the waters, download a 30 day trial copy of Multicharts from TSSupport, which is a TS clone, and just use the free Yahoo EOD daily data. As someone had pointed out in the other forum to your question, you can do all of these in MS Excel as well, which is what Steenbarger did with a lot of this studies. | ||

Blog Entries: 104 | Re: Software for Generating Reports Based on Various Indicators/Events If you go the TS / MC route, PM me and I can give you template code for outputting 'count' statistics for various ways your test condition turns out (sans actual system backtesting). From there you could kick the stats out to .csv , etc. if needed... zdo | ||

How is Multicharts compared to the actual Tradestation platform? Are almost all TS Studies/Indicators backward compatible? | ||

![]() | Re: Software for Generating Reports Based on Various Indicators/Events There are free programs (or under $100) to download free daily data from the internet too! TS you can do a lot with, but there are better ones. I second sevensa's neoticker recommendation, and amibroker. I am using tradersstudio which makes amibroker look like a kids toy. | ||
