Forex Tester Publisher's Description
Forex Tester 3 is a software that simulates trading in the forex market.
It is designed for you to learn how to trade profitably and to create, test & refine your strategy for manual and automatic trading.
- Test and improve your trading strategy for consistent and growing profits!
- Grow confident in your strategy so you can keep a clear head, act immediately on trading opportunities and avoid mistakes when you trade live later on!
- Become an experienced and successful trader in less time!
How does it work? Forex Tester simulates the Forex market with unequalled realism. You can test strategies and train your trading skills on (simulated) years of data in just a few hours (real time). Our strategy tester works with the recorded price movement of the real Forex market (15 years of historic price data). Like a recording of music, you can jump forward, pause or jump right to the interesting moments. You can go back to any point of time within the recorded price data and if you have saved a testing session (project) before, you can also restore all your open trades, trade history and account balance (of your simulated broker account) at this moment of the simulation.
Statistics reveal true performance: You can take notes on every trade (keep a trade journal) and export your trade log for analysis on Excel or other programs. Theres no longer any need to rely on estimations, or even on wishful thinking!
Amateurs have to rely on assumptions and believe what others tell them. Professionals, however, make their decisions based on facts. Forex Tester will deliver the hard facts about your strategies. If a strategy is not profitable, you will find that out quickly with Forex Tester (contrary to testing in a demo account). Now you can improve it or invest time in developing another strategy. Likewise, if you have a great strategy, you will want to trade as soon as possible. Forex Tester delivers the results you need to do so with confidence.

A journal of using a Forex back testing application
Preamble.
These are the notes on the last twelve lessons in the Forex Tester 5 back testing application.
I have found the lessons a good summary of what is important with respect to using a charting package. In particular, the sections on Symbol Properties inclusion of commission, spread, rollover and other fees that may be missing from other demonstration account packages will deliver a fully representative back testing package that is as realistic as a real world test.
I now look forward to testing some real plan scenarios in later posts.
L21 What is a swap in Forex?
A swap is a broker fee that is added or deducted from a trader account balance, also known as rollover, interest charge, cost of carry, carrying charge, premium, overnight funding, charge or financing charge. A swap is a fee, paid or charged after rollover. It is to keep the trade open overnight, and it is not applied evenly for each day of the week. FT5 shows a simulation in support of understanding this swap. It is impacted by the interest rates applied interbank for both currencies in the pair. If the purchased currency interest rate is higher than the sold currency interest rate, the swap is positive. If the purchased currency interest rate is lower than the sold currency interest rate the swap is negative.
A buy order open overnight has a long swap.
A sell order open overnight has a short swap.
FT5 simulates a swap charge and how to set swap fees in the software for swap long points and swap short points. Data > Data Center > Symbol GBPUSD > Commission tab > Swap long points, swap short points. In the “swap long” points box enter “” and in the “swap short” points box enter “+ Click OK and click Exit.
FT5 simulates a market order for GBPUSD pair. Choose lot = , from Lot drop down menu, and click “BUY”.
Order is placed 04/04/ (Wednesday) at GMT. Rollover will happen at GMT on Thursday. Resume testing and watch the chart time. Swap = at Thurday 05/04/ (the swap charge is 3 times the long swap cost), being a Wednesday trade.
At hrs on Friday 06/04/, the swap charge is now (another daily charge is added to the existing Wednesday charge.
You can make money trading from the positive side of the rollover interest charge, and this is referred to as a “carry trade”.
Holiday swaps are charged when banks are closed. These swaps will be charged two days before the holidays.
L22 What is a commission in Forex?
Commission is a transaction fee charged by a broker to a trader. It is charged on every trade placed.
Fixed – defined as $X per Standard Lot
Variable – defined as $X per $million units traded.
Generally the bigger the volume, the higher the commission. You still have to pay the spread fee even if “zero spread” is quoted by the broker.
FT5 simulates how to set up brokers commission so that the net profit is calculated correctly. If you trade low volumes, the better option is to trade “fixed commission per standard lot”. Click Data Center button. Choose USDJPY, change properties, commission per lot. Suppose the broker commission is $ per K traded. Choose “per side”, or “round turn” as per the broker contract conditions. Choose “apply” when opening the position.
Set “commission per lot” to +$ Click OK and Exit to close Data Center. Click “Home”, “Restart”.
FT5 simulates opening a short trade with those costs set as default within Symbol Properties.
Open “Market Order”window and choose USDJPY.
Choose lot: = (3 mini lots), choose “SELL” to place your order. At the foot of the page the commission column shows Calculating the commission cost – Commission Rate (per standard lot) = $ per turn. Contract size (3 mini lots) = Standard Lots. Commission = cost per lot x number of lots = $ x = $
Which option to choose from a broker (commission cost + tight spreads, or no commission and wider spreads) depends on the trader trading profile. A long term trader may opt for floating spreads and no commission.
L23 What is leverage?
Trading with leverage is also known as (aka) “margin trading” or “trading on margin”. You use funds lent to you by your broker to trade positions significantly larger than the real amount of money you have in your trading account.
Expressed as X : 1, and represents the amount of money available for your trade divided by the actual amount of money in your account.
At the extreme ( : 1) with a $1, deposit your trades can control up to $, value, though recent changes to legislation in most jurisdictions that offer legal protection to the trader it is more likely the broker offers are more like 20 : 1 to 50 : 1 maximum leverage offered. Leverage settings can be adjusted in the Symbol Properties window.
FT5 simulates how to change the default leverage setting. Data > Data Center > EURUSD > Change Properties, Common tab, Leverage x 1 . Default is 1 x but trader can change this setting. Do not change default in this lesson.
Click OK then Exit to close Data Center window.
Click Home > Restart > Yes to apply the changes to any Symbol Properties
If you open one standard lot ($10 / PIP) with a 1 x leverage and the market moves in your favour by 1 pip, you have increased your investment value by $10 x leverage = $1,
But if the market moves 1 pip against you, your investment has decreased by $1, and you have lost all your money. Do not blow your account out by misunderstanding leverage. Practice on this demo account instead.
FT5 simulates a new market order using leverage to place a 5 lot order on EURUSD. Click BUY to open the order. The order is opened. Note the open position at the foot of the page shows:
Ticket #1, balance 10,, Equity , margin , free margin , margin level %, points -5, profit
Sensitivity of the trade is $5 per point, or $50 per pip. If the price moves against you by pips, you lose leverage x $50 = $5,
L24 What is margin?
Margin is a relatively small amount of funds required as collateral to open and maintain a new trading position. It is “the amount of money you need to enter a trade”.
Margin Requirement
In the broker agreement (a contract), it is usually shown as a % of the full amount of the maximum position allowed. For example, % for a : 1 leverage account, or 10% for a 10 : 1 leverage account.
Margin is the inverse of the leverage ratio. 1/Leverage Ratio = Margin Requirement (%)
Required margin is calculated according to the Base Currency of the pair traded.
FT5 simulates a market order.
Choose Market Order button., Symbol USDJPY, lot 1 standard and click BUY.
Once opened the specified amount of Required Margin becomes “Used Margin”. See Open Position tab at the foot of the screen. Margin , free margin , margin level %.
Base currency of pair is the same as the account currency, so Lot size x Margin Requirement = Required Margin. $, x 1% = $1,
Leverage = 1 : (Symbol Properties Leverage 1 x ).
FT5 simulates a market order (SELL EURUSD) to add to the already open USDJPY trade.
Choose symbol EURUSD. Leave Lot =1 as default lot size. Click SELL.
Base currency is EUR. Lot size x Margin Requirement x Exchange Rate of Base currency to account currency = $, x 1% x = $1, The total margin is now $2,, being $1, on the USDJPY trade and $1, on the EURUSD trade. Free margin is now $ and margin level is %.
L25 What is free margin?
Free margin is the money in your trading account available for trading. The funds not currently being used for open trades.
Equity – Used Margin = Free Margin.
If there are no open trades, then Free Margin = Equity.
FT5 simulates a market order to see how free margin changes during an open trade.
Choose Market Order, Symbol GBPUSD, lot size 5 standard lots, and click BUY.
Margin = , free margin = = %.
Click “Resume” button. Observe free margin to fluctuate with current price of the trade during the simulation. If the trade is in profit free margin increases. If the trade is in loss, free margin reduces and can become zero until all equity is used up.
If you try to place another order, a warning “Insufficient Margin” will appear. If equity goes to zero, the broker will close the trade and your account is blown up (becomes zero value). You will experience a “Margin Call”
L26 What is Margin Level?
Used margin / Equity (expressed as a %)
Equity / Used margin x % = Margin Level.
If no open positions Margin Level = 0%
The higher the margin level, the higher is the free margin to open more trades.
Good practice is to always ensure it is above %. Add funds or close open positions to maintain this position.
L27 What is a margin call?
There is no standard minimum margin level that initiates a margin call. Check your broker agreement. Typically, it is anything at or below %. Action needed – deposit more funds in your account, close open positions, or both until your free margin exceeds %. Failing corrective action, your broker will close out your open positions on your behalf to recoup losses.
FT5 reviews actions to prevent a margin call.
FT5 is only a market simulation, so there is no such thing as experiencing a margin call using it.
L28 What is balance?
It is the amount of money in your trading account. Displayed as “balance” in the terminal window in the Open Positions tab at the foot of the screen. It is otherwise called “risk capital” or “cash that you can afford to lose”. It does not reflect any unrealized profit / loss from open trades. It is affected by swap fees from open trades.
L29 What is equity?
Equity = balance + unrealized profit / loss from open trades.
Displayed as equity in the Open Positions tab in the Forex Tester terminal window.
If there are no open positions, equity = balance.
FT5 simulator opens an order. Choose Market Order. In Market Order common window choose USDJPY, lot, BUY. Observe the order in Open Positions tab. Choose “Resume testing”. It shows unrealized or “floating” profit / loss for each open trade. This becomes a real balance only when all open trades are closed.
Click “close order”. Click Charts > Profit Chart for equity (green dashed line) and Balance (purple line).
L30 What is a price chart?
A visual representation of an asset’s price movement over a given period of time. It shows how the pair price changes over the time period.
In FT5 you can view any historical asset price up to yesterday’s data.
FT5 reviews symbols and features of the FT5 chart window.
L31 Bar Chart
Explains OHLC (open, high, low, close) features of a bar chart. Explains bullish and bearish charts.
L32 Candlestick Chart
Explains meaning of body, shadows (wings), colours, bullish and bearish, bullish (green or hollow white), bearish (red on solid black), changing chart colours. Explains OHLC features of a candlestick chart.

Forex Tester 6 Backtesting software Advantages
When I was looking for a good backtesting software after analysing many in the market, I settled with Forex Tester 6 for the following reasons
1. It had the quality historical data
2. Its platform is robust. If one is comfortable with the Meta Trader platform, without much difficulty, one can gel into Forex Tester software. But yes, its user interface is not super-rich. For backtesting, I am not looking for a super-rich user interface, but a robust, one with good analytics and reasonably easy-to-use software. Forex Tester fits the bill there.
3 The cost of ownership though looks a bit higher for a lifetime package, considering it a one-time cost, one can see the cost benefit in the second year itself. Considering we might want to have backtesting software handy for at least a few years, this in my view is a good cost-effective backtesting solution.

Forex Tester for understanding market movement
Forex Tester may be a bit confusing at first but once you get used to setting up projects and understanding the software and it's features it's the best tool for upping your trading skills. Being able to start a project, pause it and then resume it where you left off whenever you're ready to is very convenient. I bought the Lifetime tic package which was more than worth it in comparison to the profits that Forex Tester has helped me pull from the markets. Forex Tester has made back testing more of a pleasure than a chore.

Forex tester is a fantastic tool
Forex tester is a fantastic tool that allows me to backtest my trading strategies in mere hours, when it would typically take months or even years to get the same amount of data. It delivers exactly what it promises.

I use Forextester to simulate live Trading
I use Forextester to simulate live trading in an accelerated way. It allows me to practice my trading strategy and chart reading skills. There are some key annoyances that could be fixed. One of them is intermittent crashing. Another is that when you import data, your initial run on the project is fine. However, when you run out of data and want to manually add more recent data, you need to create a new project (or manually manipulate the project metadata) to get the timeline to update. It would be great if you could fix this

Best Backtesting Software on the Market
Have been currently using Forex Tester for a month now and have to say is the most valuable thing I have bought to aid me with my trading. Before FT6 I was using the Replay feature on Trading View, but since purchasing I have seen a significant difference in my trading.
From being able to choose specific Time and Dates to Backtest to actually having a Simulated trading service, the platform is amazing.
My favourite feature is that I am able to save my BackTesting data and resume whenever I feel like it.
When first trying out the software, it can be a bit confusing with all the features, but once you have mastered the software, its a real game changer and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to master a particular trading strategy.

Best Trading Investment
Hi, I purchased Forex Tester after getting recommendations from Trader Nick. It was one of the best investments in my trading career. This software gives opportunities to test different strategies like real time. Unlike other software you can use any time frame on historical data with news effect too. Still trying to master it. Will recommend all traders to give it a try

I love this software
I love this software!
I bought it when they had a summer sale running with the super data for life subscription! One of the best purchases I have made in my trading career. Backtesting is such a important part of becoming successful at trading, however websites like TradingView only give you limited bar replay, with ForexTester 5 I have over 20 years of back data to test and practice with. Highly recommend this for anyone serious about trading, regardless of how experienced you are.

Forex Tester is the real deal!!
I’ve had this software since February 9th of and It had helped my trading a lot since purchasing. I use it to backtest pairs like Nas and US30 which require really refined strategies when trading live. This gives me live conditions so I can enhance my skills! Before forex tester I used trading view but the issue with trading view is after a certain amount of years you cannot go down to the 1 minute time frame, not sure if that’s a storage issue on the server but they was very frustrating to me as I wanted to move freely from timeframe to timeframe. That’s when I began researching for a backtesting software and I discovered Forex Tester. The software is straight to the point while it looks and feels like I’m trading on MT4. Overall I’m happy with my purchase and cannot wait to see what else they bring to the future or trade.

I've been using Forex Tester for years and found an immense value in it. The software saves time, making it efficient and fun to manually(not only) backtest trading systems. You can even model trading the news, as the history data has marks of the economic data releases. The technical support is reliable, and the program is consistently updated.

FT5 - Feature rich elegant backtester
FT5 is the best softwares I used for backtesting till date.
When I use the Demo version to explore the features, I got totally mesmerized and immediately purchased the licence on the same day.
I am a professional software engineer (Fullstack) and I am telling you from a developer perspective that FT5 is a Gem of a product.
The team behind the FT5 is outstanding. I can see your team's oneness. Without concrete team effort + coordination, it would not be possible to build such a marvelous product.
Kudos to the customer support, software developers and other Masterminds behind the FT5.

Glitchy, Early Computer Era Feel
This is not a modern platform. Here is a list of negatives:
→ Working with multiple screens is glitchy. F.e. can't place TP/SL levels on a secondary screen, must do it on the screen with UI
→ Seems like it unnecessarily consumes too much computing power on my machine
→ A package with the first month of free data has only low-quality data when it comes to lower timeframes.
→ Can't import modern MetaTrader indicators, Forex Trader 5 can only read older indicator files
→ Can't set the default behavior for news on a chart. If I backtest EURUSD, it is unlikely that I need to have news related to CHF on the chart.
→ Confusing settings regarding session start hour with no proper tooltip.
I bought it because it seemed to be the best available. TradingView didn't have any backtesting at the time and I didn't know about FX Replay.
ForexTester may still be the best option for you, particularly for testing with multiple screens. I am not aware of any alternative in this regard, but working around the glitches can be learned (as infuriating as it is).
Here are a few positives:
→ An only platform I am aware of that allows you to have multiple screens with potentially testing different symbols at the same time.
→ As opposed to browser backtesting software, you can control replaying with keyboard shortcuts with ease.
→ Integrated with no code Strategy/Indicator Builder, although the software allows you to download only I think 2 indicators for free.
All in all, this is perfect for high timeframes testing or with more timeframes. Comes lacking in other ways.

Reply from Forex Tester
Dear Krel Backstabba,
Thank you for your valuable feedback on Forex Tester. We appreciate your thorough review, and we would like to address each of your points:
1. Working with multiple screens: We understand that you experienced glitches when working with multiple screens. Our platform is designed to support multi-screen setups, but we apologize for any inconvenience you faced. We continuously strive to improve the platform's performance and stability, including addressing any issues related to working with multiple screens. Unfortunately, we have not yet managed to reproduce the bug you mention. We would appreciate it if you could take some time and send us more details about this error to our email address [email protected] Additional materials such as screenshots or videos would be appreciated.
2. Computing power consumption: We apologize if you found our platform to consume more computing power than expected. The Forex Tester 5 program has specific system requirements to ensure optimal performance. The minimum recommended processor is MHz Pentium III or compatible, while we recommend using a processor with MHz and higher. The minimum required memory is MB RAM, but we recommend using 4 GB RAM and higher for better performance. Additionally, the program requires MB of disk space for installation, and if you import extra data, the disk space requirement may range from GB, depending on the data size.
3. Data quality: The free Basic Subscription includes historical data for 18 pairs from the Forexite broker, but it does not include volumes. We recommend using these data on higher timeframes. For more precise testing, our paid Super Subscription offers 1-minute data with real volumes and tick data with Bid and Ask prices for better accuracy.
4. Compatibility with modern MetaTrader indicators: Unfortunately, .ex4 indicator files specific to MT4 cannot be used in our program.
5. Default behavior for news on a chart: Our platform allows you to set a news filter and view news specific to a symbol. You can find more details about this feature at eunic-brussels.eu
6. Session start hour settings: Our historical data is provided in the GMT+0 time zone by default, but you have the option to adjust the time zone and apply Daylight Saving Time when creating a new project.
7. We are actively working on Forex Tester 6 and have launched beta testing. It will introduce user-friendly improvements and new features. We value your feedback and aim to provide a better user experience.
Thank you again for your support and suggestions. If you have any further questions or ideas, please don't hesitate to contact our support team. We are dedicated to improving our platform and serving you better in the future.
Sincerely, Forex Tester Team
Excellent Customer Service
I was excited about the forex tester 5 software and had to run the software via parallels as I am using a mac. I reached out as I was having some issues and Oleksii from technical support was very very helpful. Responded quickly and even provided screenshots to make the process easier for me to get the software to launch and change the resolution. 10/10 would recommend this software and the team is amazing!
