i'm really new to backtesting, and read about mc just recently.
i want to learn easylang, but the 30 days is not enough
is there a free option to practice backtest on historical data, and learn to programm with easylang ?
in addition, i saw that mc is also an actual trading platform.
where can i see the commission fees (buy, sell, options etc.) ?
thanks!

You will also need a source of data. Here are a few threads about free data:
When I was backtesting an automated strategy I looked around for tick data to backtest and forward test on. Shit was expensive, son! However, after searching high and low I found some. I'm new here so 1000 pardons if you guys already know about this.
The …
