Back Testing : Forex Edition

Introduction.

Many traders believe that back testing is an unnecessary practice. However, it is important to understand the advantages of back testing your trades in forex.


What is Back Testing?

Back testing is the process of testing a strategy manually or using automated software to see how they would have been if they had made different decisions. Traders try to predict future market movements based on historical data, and then use this information to make trades that are likely to be profitable over time.


This type of testing is useful because it gives traders good insight into how their systems work, without having to rely on randomness or luck when making trading decisions. It also allows traders to see the true impact of changes in parameters such as time frame.

You can also save a lot of money by using this method since you will not have to pay for expensive software and hardware to generate a strategy or having them trade for you.

Another advantage of using back testing is that you will be able to see what has worked for other traders in the past so you know what type of strategies and indicators work best for you. This will help you get better results faster than if you just tried out all kinds of different strategies without looking at what others have done before them.
