strategy backtesting
Posted: 17 Feb 2010
I am just getting started with strategy development and testing and want to do a very simple backtest of a strategy I wrote for testing purposes only. When I apply the test to the chart, I get the entry and exit signals, but only for the last 6 months. I am using the EUR/USD daily chart, which has over 8 years worth of data. How can I test all of it?
Also, I don't see the performance results, just buy and sell arrows. I want to know how it performed financially. I tried going into the properties and backtesting dialog boxes, but nothing worked.
