Testing an EA - howto

 

Hi all,

just new in metatrader stuff, not in stocks/fx/programming.

what are my best options for doing backward and after that forward testing.

did the EA programming.

have collected several years of tick data (maybe not all good, but what interests me most is how performence is by different set of parms)

how good is backtesting in metatrader itself ??

further found:

stratasearch (ok for stocks but not able to handle a lot of data cq realtime,

so a NO for FX)

forextester (not tested yet)

don't like to reprogram the EA for a testing program :-( , but if it has to

well we go along that route....

any ideas/opinion/experience welcomed !
