Hi,
Yep use wealthlab for backtesting as much as possible. My current system can not be tested in WL.
WL always trades on bar + 1 because the indicators are calculated at the end of the bar. The system I currently trade calculates values every 5 seconds and then makes trades as required on the current bar.
It can be tested but how useful it is I am not sure.
2. Those results... Look dam good but... It was not correctly taking into account the spread of the trade. Dam it. Not so good after spread costs.
3. I have a server on 24x7 which downloads prices every 24 hrs. At the moment I am working a new system so my API will save price data and spread every 5 min.
The API allows for 500 bars of history. Does not matter which time frame.

I prefer Oanda as a broker and the API gives you more control over what you want to do.
I have never really used Metatrader.
