Hello Mr MoneyBiz,

You could capture the market data and any values in the OnTick event using Visual Studio in debug mode while running a back-test, it will call all the methods OnBar, OnTick etc from the start date to the end date, you could store the values in a database and use a custom built 3rd party application to do the historical analysis to ability to pause, to go forwards, go backwards increase tick speed and lower tick speed.

Please can I have a copy when you have built it, I will buy you a few beers.

Paul.

4 years ago when I first discovered cAlgo I liked it but it had some properties missig and I started to code one for myself to excatly do that visual backtesting.

After my tries I concluded that this forex things is total BS, nothig you can hold on to and earn money from. Only the house is earning. :)

But I was always thinking if that much people are inside this thing there must be something I'm missing and last week I decided to check few methods...

I liked the optimisation section a lot but the visual backtesting is still missing.

I don't want to start coding this again because although the coding part was easy dealing with chart components is annoying.

I'm just testing few ideas.

morning,

I think your idea is a very good one, maybe in the future Spotware will include this feature, thanks for the memory manager :-)
