Do not invest more money than you can afford to lose.
International forex brokerage Pepperstone announced on Wednesday it has released a Trade Simulator for the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) trading platform. The tool is designed for strategy testing at all levels.
The new tool is available only to Pepperstone clients with live trading accounts with balance exceeding $500.
The MT4 Trade Simulator enables users to test strategies and multiple order management techniques using past trade data, and eliminates the need of time-consuming manual testing on demo accounts. It saves tones of time on testing and provides instant results and detailed analysis.
Traders can use the simulator to place market and pending orders, to set trailing stops, to alter the stop-loss (S/L) and take-profit (T/P) on orders, and to save complex order definitions as templates, among others.
In addition, Pepperstone offers a set of a little less than 20 smart trading tools for the MT4 platform. Some of these include Alarm Manager, Correlation Matrix and Trader, Sentiment Trader, and Tick Chart Trader tools.
