Forex Tester 4 Features
We constantly improve our software, and we sincerely care about our users' opinion about it. Before implementing new features into Forex Tester 4, we decided to ask our users to share their ideas about what they lack in the current version of the Forex Tester and how it is possible to make our backtesting software better.
We are excited to launch the Forex Tester Converter. Would you find it useful?
*An interpreter that can convert any kind of the .mql files to the .dll ones, so you can use easily any custom MetaTrader 4 indicator or EA in Forex Tester*
Yes, finally
No, thanks
Do you consider Visual Constructor to be a useful tool that allows creating EAs with a convenient drag&drop interface?
For example, in order to create a simple Moving Average Crossover EA you will just need to:
1. find MA in the list of tools,
2. Drag it to the first location,
3. Drag the same MA tool to the second location,
4. Set the MAs parameters (type, period, shift, display type)
5. Set up the buy condition in a few clicks (if SMA1 crosses the SMA2 from below - open the buy order).
6. Set up the sell condition (if SMA1 crosses the SMA2 from above - open the sell order).
When you complete this process, the .dll and .mq4 files will be generated automatically and will be ready for the import.
2. Drag it to the first location,
3. Drag the same MA tool to the second location,
4. Set the MAs parameters (type, period, shift, display type)
5. Set up the buy condition in a few clicks (if SMA1 crosses the SMA2 from below - open the buy order).
6. Set up the sell condition (if SMA1 crosses the SMA2 from above - open the sell order).
When you complete this process, the .dll and .mq4 files will be generated automatically and will be ready for the import.
Yes
No
What kinds of files do you need for Visual Constructor?
.dll only - for Forex Tester 4
.mq4 only - for Meta Trader 4
Both - I use both platforms

Do you need the data on more than 118 provided symbols (cryptocurrencies, options, futures, more stock symbols)?
Many traders do not limit themselves to Forex only, but try trading binary options, cryptocurrencies or futures. We have decided to broaden the list of data symbols you can backtest on in Forex Tester 4.
Yes
No
What kind of symbols would you like to have in the next version of Forex Tester?
Cryptocurrencies
Binary Options
Futures
Add more Stock symbols
All of them
We think adding the News Service will add up significantly to the accuracy of your trading decisions. Do you share our opinion?
Forex Tester 3 will include the News Service for free for each customer (approximately will be available in April)
News service will be divided into 3 categories: less important/middle relevance/highly important news.
Owners of FT3 will have access to the most important news only;
FT3 + Standard data owners will be able to make use of middle & highly important news;
FT3 + VIP data owners will get access to all of the news.
Visually it will be represented by the colored flags (each color corresponds to the priority of news) above the timeline of the chart.
Yes
No
We are planning to add the news specifically for Stocks, Futures, and Options. Do you find it useful?
If you trade Stocks then having all the information about major events related to each individual company (statistical reports and revenue reports etc.) might be useful for your backtesting.
Yes
No
Do you think Strategy Optimizer might be useful in Forex Tester 4?
Strategy Optimizer is a built-in tool helping to test your strategy quickly with different parameters, so you can find the best parameters for your strategy.
Yes, it would be useful
No, thank you
We think adding more of widely used technical analysis tools like Fibonacci and Gann tools might be important for traders. Do you need more graphical instruments (Gann tools, Fibo tools, Angle spotting tools)?
Yes
No

EA is a great tool to automate the testing process, so we want to add 100 popular EAs to the Forex Tester 4. What do you think about this?
We plan to add well-known and proven EAs so every trader can find the one that fits his needs.
Yes, it would be great
No, thank you, I do not use EAs
Would you find useful the library of the custom EAs every user can upload?
Yes
No
Do you think such library should be...
Free
Paid
Both (I do not mind paying the author for really useful EA)
Would you like to increase the number of indicators from 45 to 145? We plan to add 100 most widely-used indicators to broaden your choices of the trading instruments.
Yes, I would be great
No, thank you, I am fine with 45
What of the listed opportunities can help you to work with indicators better?
Group indicators according to their fun
Mark the favorite indicators and get them at the top of the list - Get the quick access to your favorite indicators (unless all 145 are your favorite)
Group the custom uploaded indicators into the special library with the free sharing - Upload your custom indicators, save them for yourself or share with everyone, so other users can try them and vote for the best ones
Group the custom uploaded indicators into the special library with the paid sharing
Add the search panel to the Indicators' tab - Start typing the Indicator's name and get the hints (it might be uneasy to find the one you need manually)
Add indicators to the oscillator's window - We bet you wanted to add the indicator, so it could "read" the oscillator's fluctuations, not the price's
We know graphical chart patterns are adored by traders. Would you like to add popular patterns as a graphical tool?
Patterns are pre-set graphical instruments that allow to draw some specific model on the chart (e.g. head&shoulders, harmonic patterns etc.)
Yes
No

What of the following settings can help you to manage your data in a more convenient way?
Sorting data from different providers into the separate folders - This way users can download data from different brokers for the same pair and start testing without the necessity to download data from one broker, delete them and then download the data from another broker for the same pair
Verification of data's quantity/quality is needed before starting the test - Before the testing is started, the software will check either the user has enough data of a predifined quality for the testing period and will notify the user if he/she needs to download more data for some pair/pairs
Do you need more chart modes in Forex Tester 4? Candlestick chart mode is a widely used one, however, it is not the only one the trader can trade on.
Yes
No
What do you think about the synchronous scrolling of the charts?
Please add
I'm not interested
Would you be interested in purchasing the additional Forex Speed Up tool?
*Forex Speed Up add-on software to Forex Tester that opens trades in a fraction of a second with a built-in risk management calculator. Set predefined Stop Loss & Take Profit values for instant entries.
With this tool, you do not have to pause the test or pull it back because you missed the entry. Just one click and your order is set instantly*
Yes
No
What is an appropriate price for Forex Speed Up, in your opinion?
It should be free
Up to $10
$10-$20
$20-$50
$50+
We would like to add more graphical tools (trend angle, arrows, icons etc.) Are you in?
Yes, it's a great idea

You think you might need more useful settings for the graphical tools like...
Toolbar with the favorite graphical tools - Each menu element will contain an opportunity to mark it as favorite. Once that is done, this element will be added to the "Favorite tools" bar from which you can select it in just one click
Editing toolbar for every graphical instrument - The user can edit every graphical instrument right on the chart
Fixation of the linear instruments - Gives the possibility to measure the length of the linear instruments without moving them
Synchronization of the linear instruments on the different charts - after placing the graphical instrument (arrow, for example) on one chart, it appears on other charts automatically if this fun
Saving all the graphical instruments of the project - A dialogue box appears where you can check what graphical instruments you want to save
A mode with drawing lines with 90 degree angles only - A convenient way to place the graphical objects perpendicularly only
Saving the custom colors of the graphical instruments - In case you do not like the default colors of graphical instruments and you want to adjust the custom ones and save them
Button that deletes all the graphical instruments on the chart- Delete all the graphical instruments with one simple click

Sharing is caring. Do you think it might be great to create a button...
Tweet - You find a great trading idea and tweet right from the software
Email support - It is easy to email any questions backed with the screenshot right from the software
Publish idea - Share your trading idea via any source you want to
Take a screenshot - An easier way to make screenshots on the charts with the immediate export to the cloud with the automated URL generated
Invite a friend (earn money) - Invite your friend to check the best features of the software and get your reward for his/her purchase
We believe search tools should be advanced as well. What kind of the search tools can be helpful?
"Go to date" tool - You do not only "jump" to the required date, but the program erases all the candles before the date
"Go to next event" tool - Ability to set the criteria (price close below Bollinger Band or EMA Cross etc.) and Forex Tester will "jump" to that spot without having to watch all the bars in the process
Search tool bar - Start typing anything you need to find (graphical tool or indicator's name etc.) and program will give you follow-to hints
Do you think that implementing alerts would be useful?
*The software will pause testing, show a pop-up, play the sound or send the email every time when the set conditions will be met*
Yes
No
Do you mind if we change the design of the program a bit?
*The alterations will most likely be applied to the colors - we will provide 2 schemes: a light (current) and a dark one. For now, you can only change the color of the chart itself but not the rest of the elements*
Yes, it would be great
No, thank you, I got used to this one
Do you think built-in templates (like the template of Bill Williams's 3 lines, Oscillators, Displaced EMA and etc.) will be useful?
*The built-in templates are ready-to-use packages including a group of indicators, for example, applied to the chart. Probably, every trader is curious how the chart of Bill Williams looks like*
Yes
No
Do you think applying an existing chart template to a new chart is needed?
*Once you have found an ideal chart template, isn't it great to move it to the new chart with one click?*
Yes
No
We firmly believe that adding a Screener will help our users to compare information about the trading instruments, their volumes in the market, and slight changes of the assets.
Do you think such tool would be useful?
*It is a built-in instrument represented as a table below the charts, that includes all the instruments available for the chosen data subscription type and shows the growth/recession of the asset, the close price, rating of the instrument, volume traded and etc.*
Yes, it is a great idea
No, thank you
We have thought about adding one very useful tool called Depth of the Market - the built-in instrument that shows the volume of the buy/sell trades at the market and the price; and also allows to simply drag the pending orders or/and drag the SL/TP levels. We believe it is an essential tool for scalpers, however, the intraday traders might find it extremely useful as well.
It is a great idea!
I won't use it anyways
Do you also think the testing speed settings should be also improved? Do you miss these features?
Auto pause - The automated pause after the predefined time/bars have passed
Multipliers at the speed slider - This way you can see how much faster the testing goes (1х, 1,5х, 2х and etc. Times faster)
An additional slider of the chart scrolling speed when the position is opened
Which of the following can help you to "read" the statistic better?
Relative drawdown
Breakdown of the account history into day/week/year
Pips mode in statistics
Check which of the orders settings can help you to backtest better:
... Include the tab to the Market order menu where the user can set the possible amount of the loss
... include Default pending orders into the software
... Allow the F4 button ('modify order') to be active when the only trade is opened without the necessity to point it with the mouse
What do you think about widening the list of the hot key combination? Do you need the next ones?
"Delete all objects" hot key
"Testing speed" hot key
Hot key for the dialogue box with the info about the trade
We would like to make Stop Loss and Take Profit lines more comprehensive and helpful. What do you think if...

We believe the following additional settings can be useful. Do you think it would be great...
To include the "Undo" button - Return one step back in the case you have deleted by mistake a graphical instrument for example
To include the "Yesterday" button - When you pick the date to start your project with, probably it is more convenient to use "Yesterday" button instead of "Today", because we provide the yesterday data for backtesting
To include Notes and Notepad - Did you have a trading insight while testing? Note it down without leaving the program
To enable/disable Global Cross Hair Cursor for multiple windows
To enable/disable only forward testing
To include the button that can return the chart to the "parent" window with one click after dragging/expanding it
Do you think Date/Time settings should be improved? Can these changes be useful?
Make the end date of the project floating - Define the start date of the testing period and test until you achieve the results you need
Custom time settings - Possibility to set up New York/Tokyo/London sessions
The Ability to restart the project from the chosen date without the necessity to restart the project
Adding tooltips about date and time -Learn the date and time of the particular bar on the chart with the mouse point (you can enable this function within the chart settings)
In the case, if you are a developer, you might be interested in the API fun
Yes, great.
No, thank you.
