    Hey ,

    I´m looking for a platform where one can do Pair Trading Backtesting.

    The one´s I tested only offer hardcoded stuff.

    What i want to do is do a Backtest over say a portfolio of 100 Spreads and show the combined results.

    While Multicharts offers "Portfolio Backtesting" it doesn´t seem to be possible to either use a synthetic Pair as a dataseries input or root orders to two ( or more ) symbols from one "strategy".

    I´d really appreciate any help and would be willing to share results / development progress.
