That's true in many cases, especially for backtesters with poor or no fill simulation and lack of certain features, including being able to simulate 5+ years back. However, it is much better than starting to use your strategy in live mode. Moreover, if you develop your models in an "adjustable" manner, you can always test them first and then keep adjusting "parameters" while trading live.

Where can I find basic information on modifying a trade on Matatrader 4?
The help pages say how to make the alteration and I can do that, then it says hit the 'modify' button. I cannot find anything on the pop-up form that would instigate the actioning of my alteration.

That's why I always forward test a strategy before I go live, I think it's the best option to get a feel on how your live account would grow.

That's true, it's always best to do some testing against real-time data as well beforehand. The problem is that you can only wait so much. Also, with today's volatility, you can get a false perception of any strategy.

Not to worry, sorted it out.

Basic advice

Hi,

I've been buying and selling shares with an execution-only broker for a year or so with reasonable success and now I'm wondering about brokers/dealers who offer advice.

Does anyone have any experience of MontaguePitman and Blue Index?
I'll be grateful for any advice; thanks.

That's why so many people lose their money quickly, patience is also a verry important thing in the forex bussines.
It isn't easy testing out a system, but it's worth the effort believe me

You should not have any problem withdrawing funds from your account under any circumstances as long as you leave 2-3 business days for the money to come through. Just make sure you leave sufficent funds in your account to trade comfortably, there is nothing worse than a margin call or trading scared because your account is too small...

Well, it might look weird, but I really tried hard to find the answer to this:

When Copper has been first time ever traded (date & time)? I found that it was on LME in 1877 but was not able to find anything more specific regarding date and time?

Could anyone help, please?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.
