I was wondering if anyone knows of a website or platform that allows you to connect to live (or even delayed) data to test various trade strategies in options, futures and forex in sim without opening a live account 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 LabŪ: Technical Analysis Software & Trading Platform - Portfolio [AUTOLINK]backtesting[/AUTOLINK] 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.

Hi, did you manage to get anything out of TSSB?

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