How about building a backtester
If you want to test tick data, you can do that in Metatrader itself. See
Using real tick data in backtest / Forum: Forex Trading with MetaTrader 4
FXTticksCollector - MQL4 Code Base
to start.
Building a seperate program to run backtests would be tricky because you'd have to have someway of either compiling mql4 or decoding ex4. Either would take a lot of work.
hi
it's not necessary you can import all csv files to MT4 and back test it
===================
Hi,
what do you guys think of building our own backtester, so any csv/tab delimited timeseries from text files can be accurately tested on a tick-by-tick basis with the standard .mq4 EA?
How much work would that be? And what would it be worth...
Would that be something you are interested in?
