What do YOU use back testing for?

I have been trying to build skills being a day trader or scalper, so I've just been paper trading to test my strategies. Should I look into back testing?

What back testing softwares are the easiest, but most powerful to use? Do most of you program your strategies in a software and then execute those strategies in a different platform? Or is your platform integrated for back testing and then automated order executions?

powerful-easiest+flexible=your own

I agree

I really do not see an easy way to backtest.

Either create your own, manually back test with charts, learn easy language from tradestation etc.
