Spotware has just made a bold announcement that for certain be the highlight of many traders day. cTrader Multi Symbol Backtesting is now available. This is a feature which traders have been waiting for years for. cTrader Automate, the section of the platform which supports algo trading bots, often referred to as cBots now allows traders and developers to backtest their cBots on multiple trading pairs simultaneously. This has been a highly sought after feature for many years. However, the multi-currency backtesting feature is an incredibly complex one, which explains why the company took so long to get there.
Panagiotis Charalampous, the cTrader community manager commented “True to our Traders First™ motto, we have taken the time to adhere to major trader requests for this cTrader Desktop update. The user-favorite FXStreet Economic Calendar is now integrated into the desktop version for a complete on-the-spot Fundamental analysis.
