    My first post. A little introduction, and a wish to find out how to backtest.

    No, I can honestly say I am not good at anything involving trading. :) My main goal with a program with a program like this is to test things a bit myself, instead of believing and hoping things to be good or bad. I haven't even tried to risk money using Elliot or Gann. Is systematic trading...

    Ok. Another silly question: won't all of it be messed up since things like close, opening, volume and so on is in Norwegian? Of course I could change it manually too.

    Thanks again :) I see that from yahoo I can download the files as .csv and from my broker I can download quotefiles as .xls. Are these importable into your program? I will try to search a bit on the internet too.

    My first post. A little introduction, and a wish to find out how to backtest.

    Thank you! Program seems great. But where do I get the historical data and daily quotes for Norwegian stocks? Amibroker is quite easy to use with yahoo. I don't have that many questions at the moment, just want to make sure the practical things (like historical data) is in place before I buy...

    My first post. A little introduction, and a wish to find out how to backtest.

    Sounds like very good advice! Thank you. Convergence will be in the back of my head when I start testing. But, AmiBroker or Tradersstudio. Is there much that separates these two? (Will check out the thread with reviews of programs one more time too) I am not a programmer. But I am willing to...

    I think trading blox is a bit too expensive for me, but Tradersstudio seems interesting! :) Will have to look into tradersstudio too before I decide. Thank you.

    Thanks! Will check it out. I found out yahoo offers free historical EOD data too. It works quite well with the trialversion of Amibroker.

    My first post. A little introduction, and a wish to find out how to backtest.

    Ok, I will probably go with Amibroker unless I find something better and easier. But it will probably not be cheaper. I see Ninjatrader is free if you're only backtesting, or how does it work? And secondly, I'm still looking for a place to get EOD quotes for norwegian stocks. I can probably...

    My first post. A little introduction, and a wish to find out how to backtest.

    Thanks for answering:) I have been looking a bit into Tradestation, but I think it is a bit expensive for me. I have 20k $, or now it is 18$, and I'm not sure how much I should spend or can afford. Amibroker seems ok, so does Ninjatrader. I have read the reviews here on the forum. I only...

    My first post. A little introduction, and a wish to find out how to backtest.

    Hello everybody. This is my first post here. I have understood that hope is to be found within me, on every part of the way. In the beginning I would sit and hope like a little kid for my stock og stocks to go up. It was like betting on a soccer game or your favorite horse. Then I understood...
