Back Tester?

Postby Kyle.Gilbertson » Thu Aug 25, 2016 10:28 am

Is there a way to connect ForexConnect API to the FXCM back tester?

Hi Kyle,

It is impossible to do so. Could you please explain your purpose in more details?

Rather than back test a strategy that conforms to the Lua based interface, I'd like to write the strategy to run in ForexConnect. By the same token, I'd like to back test that strategy, and rather than write a stand alone back tester, I'd like to use the one that already exists. I can see why that's not possible, but just wanted to check anyway.

At the bottom of this page:
http://fxcodebase.com/wiki/index.php/Price_Simulation

It says, "Moreover, the market simulation is an open API, thus, for such a tricky case, you can easily implement custom simulation and backtesting routines."

Is there documentation on that?

Hello Kyle.Gilbertson,

It says, "Moreover, the market simulation is an open API, thus, for such a tricky case, you can easily implement custom simulation and backtesting routines."

This is incorrect, I guess.
The market simulation has never been released as API with open source code.
