Back Testing

Hi all,

I am new here and new to trading.

I am trying to adopt a trend trading approch to Forex and technical indicators heavy.

I have been trying to backtest indicators and finding it a long process but accept it needs to be done.

Can anyone please advise of a quicker, smarter, and maybe more accurate way of doing this.

I take a historical 3 year period, place the indicator on the chart and begin ticking off where the indicator gave me signals and record the pips won / loss.

Is there an easier way of doing this? or a simple back testing software I can use?

How do you do it? And if you don't, why don't you?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Really appreciate the content I have found here.

Look forward to hearing your comments.

Mr Short!
