Is backtesting broker independent?


Recommended Posts

Hello, I have a quick question:

 

If I do my backtests on a demo account of, lets say, Apari, will it be usefull for using the resulting configuration in Iamfx broker?

The thing is Im having problems to backtest with Iamfx since they dont automatically download the data and I am having troubles to configure it to backtest there...

 

Another thing: I noticed when you download pairs data from Iamfx, it downloads it from another web (bostontechnologies doc com) What if i directly download metatrader from there and download data and backtest with that metatrader?

Thankyou fellow traders...

 

:)

I my mind the main consideration would be that different brokers use different time as the end of day for their charting platforms, so that is something you will have to check. Also depending on their data provider there could be some small differences between the OHLC, which depending on your trading style maybe or may not be an important factor.
