Testing trade strategies live without opening a live account..

I know Ninja allows you to download past data but it is very time consuming and slow. If there was a site that provided real data that didn't require you to tie up capital until your strategy was fully tested it would be better.

Specialized commercial software (which partially comes with data) like Wealth Lab is made for that, but not a bargain
( Wealth Lab�: Technical Analysis Software & Trading Platform - Portfolio backtesting software, stock charting, strategy scripts and much more...).
For "free" statistical packages like R (https://www.r-project.org/) or TSSB ( Automated Trading System Development | Date mining | Predictive modeling)
you need the usual additional data sources.

That TSSB site is dead, that probably gives you your answer...

I have a live multibroker acct w/NT. If there is a personal simple strategies test you need to run and if it does not involve too much time,

I'd be glad to run it for you.
