Questions about backtesting
11 Feb 2017, 08:35

I was developing EAs on MT4 and am a newbie for cAlgo.

I would like to know about the basic things about the backtesting of cAlgo. Need your help.

 

1. Where the backtesting data came from?

2. Could I use 3rd party tick data such as one from Dukascopy?

3. The back test data is based on real tick data?

4. The spread is real and variable? or fixed ?

 

Thank you.

Let me add the 5th question.

5. Is there any "Visual Mode" back testing functions to see at what point on chart the trade was opened and closed?
