[QUESTION] - Backtesting Advice For a Beginner With No Coding Experience

How about Tradestation for backtesting?

TradeStation is excellent, but you need to open a trading account with them, otherwise you will have to pay about $100 a month to use the software ($200/month if you are a professional trader).
 
why can't you just name one or two?

I can't remember their names, but I read that in a few books a long time ago. I am not sure but I believe it was in Perry Kaufman books (Trading Systems and Methods, perhaps).

These statistical tests are not for the casual trader and do require some advanced mathematical knowledge.
 
Is it a good platform, do you use it for backtesting?

Not yet for back-testing, i use Radarscreen and scanner ,,, This tools are different than most in the market.
Testing simple ideas would be be easy (without money management), but still i'm learning easy-language and the platform, as i was with interactive brokers before, so can't say much.
Nice thing you can just copy and past results from Radarscreen and scanner into Microsoft excel and analyze them, without having to export them. And it has a lot of advance order entry types and settings, you can also create orders macro and hotkeys

My, my. Now come the deep-sounding but meaningless faux philosophical pronouncements.

I would suggest discovering The Truth of 1+1=2, or perhaps "for all x: x = x", or maybe even - this might take you years of study - the deep mystery of the sigma. They have indeed been hidden from you until now... and I have the strangest feeling that they will continue to be.

C'Mon Blue, give him the deeper meaning and mystery of how 7+1=10? Hit'em in the hine!
