    You can manually back test a strategy with Excel or pencil and paper. Just back test for about 500 to 1000 trades and record win and loss.

    Thanks I tried doing that but it involves future options so it doesn't work
     
  5. Hello,

    I do not know how to back test future options. Hopefully, someone else can recommend some options for you.
