What Backtesting Software Should I Use For My Stock Trading Systems?

Adrian Reid recommends Amibroker as the best value backtesting software, costing a few hundred dollars with a full trial. But learn systematic trading fundamentals first, or you'll waste money experimenting in the software before you're ready.
I use amibroker because I believe that amibroker is the best value for money trading software on the market. I did a big scan of all the different back testing platforms. It has the best functionality for the money that you have to spend on it. So it costs a few hundred bucks. So it's not free, but you can get a fully functional trial for free. So you can download it from the website, try it out. I would absolutely recommend doing that.
The there is a learning curve to it and what I'm going to suggest is that getting the back testing platform is probably not your first step. The first step is all the learning about how the systems work and how to backtest. So you know, if you, if you wanted to do that with me, then System Trader Launchpad is a great way to do that. It teaches you the basics of systems, how they work, gives you some system ideas. Table takes you through amibroker, how to backtest in amibroker, how to run that system and basically get you started. So Launchpad is like the introduction to get you into systematic trading with confidence. So that's probably the best place to look first and then.
Go to the software once you know what to do. Because if you get the software first, what always happens is you start playing with the software, right? Oh, indicator and this and this and this. And you start playing around with the software and the tools before you know the strategy of how to test and develop a system that works. The strategy of how to do that is far more important to learn that, you know, that comes from either doing a course like Launchpad or it comes from reading a whole bunch of books and then go into the market. Number one thing is get educated first so that you don't lose the training capital that you've got. You know, we've got to absolutely protect the money that you've got. And you do that by not going in, you know, half assed, basically.
