RE:

Yes. Tools such as this do exist, but are extremely expensive. Sorry.

Hi there, is it possible for us to be able to backtest/run a simulator which runs through tick data and simulates historical data as if it were happening in real time. There are many such simulators for MT4 where you can speed up and slow down the simulator. I usually use MT4 for simulator trading but I've created my own custom indicator with cAlgo and would like to sim trade in cTrader with historical data. Also, the ability to use tick-data, certain points or just every bar would be ideal.

If this concept doesn't exist within cTrader, would it be possible to be put down on the to-do's for the devs?

btw, when i mean sim trade i don't mean running a cBot but visually running through historical data as if were real-time but faster.

Many thanks
