backtesting software

[jacknapier]

What software can I use to backtest strategies? For nasdaq/nyse/amex stocks. The only platform that I'm aware of is Tradestation, but there's got to be others.

I use updata, but I have also backtested on numerous others..wave 59, amiboker, ninjatrader, metastock. all depends what you are attempting to backtest.

Mostly technicals. In part, to confirm strategies I read in magazines and on the web and to see how some of my ideas backtest. I do incorporate some fundamental analysis to, so variables like RoE and debt ratios are a plus.

Thanks, I'll check out some of those platforms later tonight.
