is it possible to add more data to the platform or how would you run a 10 year backtest? my ic markets demo only goes back 1 year for backtesting.

RE:
so there is no way to add your own data? Don't take this the wrong way, but how is this not a pressing issue? You have to convert strategies to run on this platform and then you can't even test them to make sure they work properly because thats not a concern. You have quite a long way to go to get close to MT4.Hello,
It is in our future plans to add a larger timeframe for backtesting but it is not a pressing issue at the moment and thus it will most probably not be available very soon.

Hello again,
I think there was a misunderstanding here or maybe I used the wrong words. What I meant was that this feature is in our list for future development and that it will be available but it will not be available in the next update. I hope this clarifies the above statement.
As far as the platform, we are working very hard to improve it and we are taking user feedback into serious consideration. There have been quite a few updates recently and a few exciting features are comming in the next update. We are constantly making it better and I'm sure that you will not have to wait long before this is your favourite platform. Stay tuned!

The backtesting period has been expanded to 2.5 years for the major currency pairs. We plan to expand it more in the future.

I am a Software Developer specialising in C# with more than 10 years of experience and will gladly write a data importation wizard for cAlgo! I really can't wait for that feature to be available.
