Are there any backtesting softwares that enable you to build strategies without needing to know all the C# and other languages?

I have all these trading ideas but I am realy bad at the programming side of things! Any suggestions?:(
 
For end of day back testing I use Mechanica and have found that to be a very useful and easy to use tool.

For intraday back testing I think you may have to go to Tradestation though I have no experience of it. For the limited intraday backtesting I have done I have simply downloaded data into excel from my IB feed.
 
http://wealth-lab.com has a drag-and-drop strategy design interface.

I think there is another thread on elite-trader about GUI trading design tools... might want to do a search on wealth-lab and I think you'll find it cause I provided the same answer... but some other tools were mentioned as well.

From my perspective there's not much difference in writing an IF/THEN statement in code versus dragging IF/THEN icons in wealth-lab, but to each his own.
