Where to backtest futures?

[alexbrod]

Friends, does anyone use programs for backtesting trading strategies? I want to test several ideas on historical data, but I don’t know which service to choose. I’m interested in something convenient and with the ability to analyze price action. I’d be grateful for recommendations!

When I started studying the futures market, it seemed to me that strategies from stocks or forex would work here too. But in reality, everything turned out differently: volatility is different, movements are sharper, and conventional methods did not work. I started looking for a place to test futures in detail and came across https://forextester.com/blog/backtest-price-action-strategy. Backtesting helped me understand how to enter and exit trades correctly, given the specifics of this market. This tool allowed me to see important patterns and adapt my strategies to the futures market. Now I understand how to react to changes and catch the best moments for trading.
