Hi kevinhenjum,

The first place to start is the strategy wizard. This is a point and click interface for defining trade conditions and actions, and requires no programming. Please see here for an introduction to the strategy wizard.

You can backtest using the strategy analyzer backtest feature. See here for help with backtesting:

We have a webinar on using the strategy wizard to create a basic strategy and backtest it. The next one will be 12 / 27/ 11 at 5:30 PM Eastern Time.
