I made a thread about this a while ago but I haven't updated it for ages. You can add the following to your list: TradeNext Global

Although I don't use Ninjatrader and Sierra Charts I do import a lot of intraday data into programs such as Muilticharts, Tradestation and Metastock. Generally the most common problem you'll encounter is that the data is not in the right format, e.g.: Too many bars in one text file Header...

I import ASCII data from Forex Tester into Multicharts, similar to Tradestation.

Yes it would because the T&C give an example of a £10 a point trade and say that if you open and close it, £20 is contributed to your total. Also they say total stakes not number of trades. Sorry I think the OP is right, 134 trades @ 1.50 per point. Didn't think you could do fractional sizes...

Just proves that most indicators are a load of rubbish. By the way, I think the T&C say you need to place 200 round-turn trades of GBPUSD, not 134.

You can trade Commodities and indices with Metatrader - it depends on the broker - e.g. with GKFX you can.

Why long only? Is it unprofitable when the market goes down?

Ipad air is worth 350 anyway, not 400. Having tried Spreadex, execution is quite good, you get positive slippage as well. A scalping or HFT strategy is well suited to this offer. I personally prefer EURUSD as it has a 1 pip spread, but you'll need 400 closed trades, which may be harder to...

Is there a reason companies like TrueFX provide tick data for free?

I don't think 100 or so trades per year is statistically significant. How many years did you backtest this system for?

I remember that post. It was 4k to 350k I think, yes BT engineer. No he didn't lose it all - he withdrew it to buy a house (Simon thinks).

This wouldn't always work. If you set your stop too tight, you'll get a large number of consecutive losses, when added together, will add up to one large loss.

You're quite right - two symbol limitation. I suppose for people who trade a few markets like me, it might be OK.

Is Multicharts .net Starter Edition also overpriced junk? I downloaded a perfectly legal copy of it for FREE!

Desynced dot net have thousands, but I suspect that if one has a very profitable EA he/she won't publish it for free.
