What l wanna do is pull up a random day last week and demo a forex program for that day.Obviously, l can not practice on the weekends otherwise, because the markets are closed.l know some online stock brokers let you go back in time and demo your strategies.Is there a good Forex site that allows the same?

The only places l know of that allow you to back test are places like tradestation that charge for historical data. l do not know of any free demos.

Hope this helps?

l have three methods l use to ''go back in time'' to test a strategy:
( l use Metatrader 4 - Which is free)

1) Manual Backtest with signals based on closed candles - This is very rudimentary but works great for those systems that have entry signals based off closed candles. l simply scroll my chart back to the date where l want to start, place the first candle in the set on the far right of my screen so that it is the only candle l can see, & slowly scroll one candle at a time forward as if it were live.

2) Manual Backtest with signals not based off closed candles - When l have a system l want to test that takes signals NOT based on closed candles l use Metatrader is 'strategy tester'. What l do, is l open the strategy tester, place whatever EA is available, the currency pair, & date range that l want to test. l then check the 'visual mode' box. As soon as u click 'start' a new chart will open & candles will begin to form. The chart runs just as if it were trading live. You can speed up, slow down, or pause the chart. This is a very good way to practice as if u were trading live.

3) Finally, You can test ur strategies by programming them into auto traders (EAs) & using the 'strategy tester' on Metatrader to test their effectiveness.
