Thread: Software available for backtesting a system

Software available for backtesting a system
I would greatly appreciate any software that is reasonably priced (not sure if that means anything...maybe a few hundred dollars or less?) that has the ability to backtest a wide variety of criteria ( I own a mac if that makes a difference).

It seems the software Ive found is quite expensive and far and few in between...any suggestions or am I missing something?



Thanks

There are many.. start off with Ninjatrader... Although for Mac, I think the options are very limited.

I was looking at marketinout.com? Appears to be a paid subscription service of around 100-200 for the year.

Looks like it has a historical screen and backtesting capability.

Thoughts on marketinout?

Are the Ninja synthetic data based on some distribution? Do you know which or how they do it? I think it is good to test a trading system on synthetic data to see how it performs, if it generates many signals for example that is not a good sign.
