"I curretnly use Metatrader like this:
- disable chart autoscroll
- move back the chart to the period where I want to start (somewhere in 2004 usually)
- the current "live" bar is the last visible bar in the right side of the window.
- when pressing F12 the chart is moving one bar in the future.
It's not identical to live trading, but, it significantly improved my ability to trade my setups. The one thing I would add is that as you're scrolling forward, try not to look ahead. Ask yourself each time you advance a bar whether or not your signal was valid according to your rules. If so, log it as a trade and then see what happened. I have a database of over 450 trades done this way that gives me great confidence in my system"
