Hello all, i am new to elite trader glad to be joining the community and learning a thing or two. Now before committing any money to this i'm interested in back testing my strategy. Is there any software i can use for free or do i have to buy something? i'd like to test it over a 5-6 years period? my strategy is fairly basic so i guess i could manually back test it but some kind of software so that i could test 30-40 stocks would vastly help as doing that manually would take ages. thanks!
Try Wealthlab. It helps if you can program. http://personal.fidelity.com/produc...tive_trader_apps.shtml#eligibility_levels_and http://www.wealth-lab.com/cgi-bin/WealthLab.DLL/getpage?page=MostActive.htm
I should add that Wealthlab is not actually free, but they have demos that are sufficient to test various strategies.
