FXCodeBase.COM: Forex Chart Indicators and Development

Hi guys,

not sure this is the right place to post this, but I did not find abetter place so...
I'm backtesting a EURUSD scalping strategy with Indicore 3 debugger and the sources I can get for EURUSD have a spread in the 2.3 area; In my real FXCM acct, my spread is around 0.1-0.3 and my strategy relies on this tight spread.
Is there a way to get tight spread sources in Indicore 3 so that I can make a reliable backtest ?
Thanks.
Ben.

Unfortunately, we can not help you with your problem.
Price is provided by FXCM servers.

Ok and no knowledge of alternate servers with different quotes/spread that FXCM would have I guess.

You can export historical data from your FXCM account with FXTS or ForexConnect - in that case the prices will reflect the spead specific to your account.

Thanks I have a list of prices in CSV format now, but how do I tell Indicore 3 to use that source ?
I can't find it in the simulation parameters window. All I can tell the simulator is "Don't use this price source" to avoid the usage of the quote mger source.

You'd better use ConsoleBacktester program from BacktestUtils.
This program can accept external csv file as a data source and able to backtest and generate reports the same way as the embedded FXTS or Debugger backtester does,

That sounds great, I'll try this out immediately.
Thanks a thousand times.

Looked into it biefly and
that looks fully Command line based; is there a GUI somewhere to pilot that stuff ?

No, it just a console.
FXTS contains a backtester with GUI.
