Not an optimization question, but how do I backtest multiple currency pairs simultaneously over the same period of time? I would like to see the total drawdown on one account of multiple pairs being traded at same time. Possible?

Hello,

This is pretty easy to do so. Just generate ticks for several pairs (see details here: http://forextester.com/ticks.html) and start a new test (http://forextester.com/testing.html). After that you will be able to use several pairs in your testing

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you wish to test the same strategy on multiple pairs simultaneously you have two options...

Either create a strategy that is designed to run on multiple pairs at once

OR

Create multiple versions of the strategy with different names such as

MAStrategy_EURUSD
MAStrategy_GBPUSD
etc...

You could then run these strategies at the same time.
