Looking for realistic stock backtester

Anyone else have any suggestions???

 

Your post concerns the data source rather than the backtester.

 

I cam across this tool. It performs strategy backtesting in excel.

Ok. Would you please care to elaborate on your comment?

 

Thankyou for the link but are you sure this takes events like reverse mergers into account???

I read over their website and it seems it's just a standard backtesting tool using excel....

 

If you have skillz, you could verify whether it does any of this. That would be a real contribution to the discussion. Accusing the guy (who, by the way, I don't know or care about) without having any information is low-rent.

 

give me a couple of splits to test... I have data from yahoo on 15 yrs of data on us stocks... 3000 optionable ones.

 

Uhh, shouldn't the OP just use a quality data feed that has been adjusted for corporate actions and dividends already? Such as CSI? You can also have the database include delisted stocks too, but it's pricey.

Or is he running a strategy that needs both sets of data and a list of when all the actions happened? Much harder.

 

As you said, this seems to be a data issue rather than a software one.

 

TradersStudio? Not free, but can produce reports using split adjusted and dividend adjusted data.
