Backtesting engines – MetaTrader 4,MetaTrader 5, Tradestation

StrategyQuant X can export trading strategies to multiple trading platforms:

MetaTrader 4 / 5 – forex, CFDs
Tradestation – futures, stocks, forex
MultiCharts – futures, stocks, forex
PseudoCode – human readable and understandable description of strategy logic

There are some differences between these platforms in how each of them handles trades, opens and closes positions, manages the open trades, etc. which can cause strategy to have very different results in one engine compared to the other. Always develop strategies in the engine you’ll be trading it later!

StrategyQuant allows you to switch the backtesting engine so that internal testing engine knows how to trade in a way that matches the selected platform.

Each trading platform and backtesting engine also allows you to configure some settings that are specific for a given platform.

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
