Forward test using replay files

[kgillis23]

In another thread Josh states:

"This is the reason why you cannot just backtest your strategy. You also need to forward test it. Personally, the way I forward test my strategy is from replay files."

Can someone explain to me what replay files are and how to forward test your strategy with them in NT.

thanks

Please see the following section on Market Replay which is what Josh was referring to.

Thanks for heading me in the right direction. In the tutorial it mentions that NT has replay data available from time to time... is there any for 4x that I could download and try?

I believe you're going to have to record your own replay data.
