What do you guys use to backtest a strategy?

InvestorRT

 

python
r
matlab
c c++

 

Thanks all but can someone give a basic step by step guide? How do I get the historic data? and then how do I load it into Python?

I have no idea where to start as I'm new to trading

Thanks in advance for your help and sorry to be a pain

 

Check out MaxProfit. Worth trying.

 

Use Backtrader or Zipline.

 

I’m new to reading and I just started using CMLviz Trade Machine. I’ve discovered a few interesting results there. Anyone else use this website?

 

TradeStation

 

Funny autocorrect… should've said "trading"… been reading for quite a while.

 

Multicharts, Amibroker. Don't try to reinvent the wheel and if you think you have a good idea avoid online backtesters.
