  5. Thanks guys. I feel one important feature the trading platform should have is:

    it can point-and-click and zoom in to any part of past historical data.

    For example, in the IB TWS I am currently using, I can see the price graph yesterday, but I cannot play analytics on yesterday's data. Then it's hard to review and learn from previous trade opportunities.

  6. All the programs mentioned can do that.

  7. Is there a review comparing all these software?

    I read from TradeStation it has 26 years of intraday historical data.

    What a regret that IB doesn't have intraday historical data.

    Do the software you mentioned above have these historical data?

    I think it's not a big problem if it can only run one instrument backtest at a time. We just have to run the tests for each instrument. Right?

  8. How does this thing work?

    Do they have access to intraday historical data of various asset classes?

  9. They can be used to back test option strategies?
