live strategy testing

Postby shanemcdonald » 18 Apr 2013

hi
when developing a strategy, how do you test it live when there is no sim account ?
Right now , I am using a demo but I cannot connect to my live account to trade.
CQG does not allow that.

Is this different with other data feeds ?

When I am connected to live account, I cannot test the autotrade strategies.

How can I overcome this obstacle ?

Hello Shane,

With CQG you can have only "one or the other" account connected. So either demo or live account.
You can sign up for a free demo account at this page.

This behavior depends on the broker's API. Please let me know if you need any details on a particular broker.
