Yes it is, altho the process is not entirly intuitive, and requires quite some programming skill. You can program trading systems in neotickers proprietary formula language, delphi or vb script, or using any COM compliant language, like any .NET ...

Money Management Rule of Thumb Question
- shrike replied Jul 24, 2007
Wrong question in my opinion. The question should be: "How much risk am i willing to take in my portfolio at any one time?" Its perfectly possible to have your 10-15% in used margin, but near zero risk in terms of market-movement (in the case your ...

Using neoticker here too. Good piece of software IMO. Also compatible with other popular brokers/dataproviders. And it has an open architecture, its programable with C# and many other languages. I grew into a tickquest-fanboy over the last 2 years. ...

Ledzep: if you want to test a system with such narrow stops and targets like 10 to 15 pips, the software has to account for the bid/ask-spread, which, to my knowing, metatrader cannot do in a feaseable way. I have some similar approaches already ...
