I was wondering if it's possible to build and backtest an automated trading strategy from the free platform or do I need to purchase a license and fund an account first in order to access this capability? I'm just looking to build and test first before I purchase one (if possible) and then connect to my broker's API. Thanks!

Can I build & backtest an auto trading strategy with just the free platform download?
Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to build and backtest an automated trading strategy from the free platform or do I need to purchase a license and fund an account first in order to access this capability? I'm just looking to build and test first before I purchase one (if possible) and then connect to my broker's API. Thanks!Tags: None

Welcome to the forums Slim Charles,
You may develop and backtest strategies with the SIM license key, a Leased license, or Lifetime license. You may not do so with the Free Edition license.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for clarifying but I'm having trouble finding the price for the SIM license key as it says on the website it is free or am I looking in the wrong place?1 Photo

Hello Slim Charles,
This would be controlled by your data provider and would not be controlled by the license key. You could consider the following options to get data:
1. Use a 2 week demo account for futures data (provided by CQG) You can request a demo account for data here - https://ninjatrader.com/FreeLiveData
2. Open a NinjaTrader Brokerage account. This will allow you to download historical data from our historical data servers. You may also enable realtime data when opening a brokerage account to get realtime data for forward testing.
3. Subscribe to a market data provider service, like Kinetick
4. Download historical data from another provider for historical data and import it. Importing - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...?importing.htm

Hello xallios,
If you have a SIM license key added, or a Trader + enabled license added, you can run backtests on NinjaScript strategies.
Backtest a strategy - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...a_strategy.htm
Please note that strategies must be created first before you can run a backtest. If you have additional questions on backtesting and creating automated strategies, please open a thread in our Strategy Development forums.
