Hey all, I am not an experienced trader, however, whenever I am looking to do some backtesting or evaluating results, my mind automatically goes...
Thanks for the comment. yeah, I have no interest in programming, and I heard Amibroker was pretty good. I might go that route.
thanks for the comment. What exactly do you mean by this? To give you context, I was trying to backtest some visual patterns manually going...
