Boost your trading skills with advanced AI built into the software.
We couldn’t step into the future without a proper Artificial Intelligence action, could we? Now advanced AI is at your service to find the most suitable parameters for your trading. Using the “Full-grid” algorithm, it analyses all possible combinations, stopping on the best one. The “Neural Network” algorithm works similar to a game “Hot and Cold”: once coming across a bad (‘cold’) combination of parameters for opening a deal, the AI moves toward the ‘hotter’ ones, searching for the best one.
The free version of Forex Tester allows using Strategy Optimizer on 1 month of data, while the full version opens as much as 20 years for the AI to work on.

Available for each and every Forex Tester user. You can freely download 20 years of historic data for 18 symbols directly from our server.
This data is pretty enough for most traders to see if a strategy is profitable or not.
The best choice for traders who consider even the tiniest price fluctuations.
This data is the most precise, with daily updates and 5-digits data.
1. +860 symbols
Every trader should have a choice of which trading instrument to choose.
No one should be limited only to the most common currencies. There are many traders who want to trade majors and the most popular crosses. But there are also plenty of people who want to trade the currencies of their countries. Others desire to learn how to trade very rare currency pairs, popular stocks, indexes and commodities.
Forex Tester’s paid services allow you to practice trading with all 860 symbols (instead of 18 symbols of the beginner subscription type). Why go for less when you can get more with some decent payment? Trade gold, Dow Jones Industrial Index and Russian Ruble; make use of silver, IBM stocks, Honk Kong dollar and S&P 500.
Solution: Every dollar you spend on your education will be multiplied afterward. Never refuse to invest in your knowledge and skills!
2. Tick data
Forex tick data shows the real non-simplified market conditions. If the price changed 45 times during the current candlestick then you need to see all those changes. 1-min data will only show 4 prices to you: open, high, low and close.
Example: imagine that you are using a short-term strategy or a scalping strategy. You use a free Forex data feed that provides you with just 4 prices on each 1-min candlestick. For long-term strategies this option is sufficient, but what if your trade lasts for less than one minute? Most of the scalpers close their orders in 20-30 seconds and each tick is incredibly important for the final result. With Forex tick data you will also get that specific feeling as if you are trading online. This is a crucial factor in your psychological growth as a trader.
Solution: buy historical tick data and trade like on a real market.
3. Floating spread
Not only do the price and volumes change on the Forex market, but the spread tends to be different depending on the varying circumstances on the market. Before and especially during big news the spread can become altered significantly. You might learn the simplified version of Forex, then go to a real market and find out that your version has nothing to deal with reality.
Solution: purchase high-qualitative historical financial data and get used to the real conditions from the start.
4. Daily update
Traders are interested in using the historical financial data of the latest events. It is certainly useful to test your trading system on the historical Forex data of the previous years but most people want to backtest them on yesterday’s historical tick data.
Example 1: If today is the 14th of February then you have to wait for 2 more weeks in order to backtest your strategy on the February’s historical Forex rates. With paid services there is an opportunity to download today’s market data feed the next day.
Example 2: You were at work and you’ve missed good trades that happened in the afternoon. You have 2 options: feel bad about it, or download this Forex data feed tomorrow and test how would your strategy perform in those circumstances.
Solution: Do not wait for months – buy it now.
5. High-quality data
We honestly declare that our free service data from Forexite is of a medium quality. It is a fair limitation for our clients – it distinguishes serious traders from amateurs because serious traders will get the high-quality data.
Some people often complain that they have to purchase the data additionally to Forex Tester. But when you buy a car you do not expect to get a free lifetime gasoline supply. You might get just a bit of gasoline to start with, but afterwards you have to buy more. We provide free lifetime gasoline (data) for your strategies. If you want to get the best data then you can purchase it from our site.
Solution: getting the paid data provides you with the most comprehending and qualitative tool.
6. AI-based Strategy Optimizer
Basic Data: Full grid algorithm at Forexite data Super Data subscription: Full grid algorithm + all AI-based algorithms + all the data and symbols available.
Full grid. This algorithm is the simplest and lacks AI methods. Every test run, called iteration, it goes through every single combination of a given set of parameters based on historical data. The more combinations, the more iterations, the more time it takes to get results. The accuracy of the method is the highest - up to 99% but the speed is the lowest.
Neural Network is an AI based algorithm. Thanks to the complex mathematical formulas that underlie this algorithm, it can select the strategy parameters with a high level of accuracy - up to 95%. This precision achieved by using a very small dataset, so you can get the result 10-100 times faster in comparison with a full grid (Brute Force) test.
XGBoost. Algorithm based on AI. Takes advantage of the most powerful and advanced ML-technique, which allows to perform parallel tree boosting to filter out inappropriate options as early as possible. It provides an even faster work than a Neural Network without loss of the result accuracy (up to 95%).

Customer story
My overall impression is that it is a great improvement for manual traders due to the inclusion of the news feature. It is certainly improving my results when backtesting my shorter term systems as it allows insights for entries and exits that no other backtesting software provides. The features I liked the most were the news, as well as the “% risk to use” calculation when placing limit orders. The % risk one is actually a HUGE timesaver for me from having to do manual calculation or just using a fixed lot size which produces inaccurate backtest results.

Customer story
I have been on the trading since 10 years and i find that i learn everyday with the forex tester. We have to change the mind and train the mind to predict what we see and what is the actual live movement. I am glad i use it to learn new pairs that i want to venture in. Only when i am confortable of what i can understand the pair from the forex tester results do i venture in live trade.

It is the absolut basic training for developing a trading strategy

Customer story
ForexTester team did again a very good job with the last and improved version of ForexTester4. I noticed the attention to details and the high variety of new features added, there is no doubt now that a trader can grow to becoming a professional trader without FT4 in their arsenal. All new features are very useful, one more than another, even starting from the new Icon of the software which I find it very thoughtful from FT team because it creates no confusion among users having multiple versions of FT installed.
Opinion
I would describe this: we all test demo accounts, but they are often made available for a month and we do not have the comfort of constantly and freely shaping our strategies, while Forex Tester allows us to create an environment that reflects the market and test our strategies and ideas freely, it is a perfect parallel supplement to the real account
