I'm lookng for a decent paper trading system to let loose on theories that I might have in regards to TA.

Some reccomendations would be appreciated greatly.

Paper trading platform?

Most online brokers have that facility
You can do it in Excell
Or if you wish to invest a few well spent $$s
STATOR --- google it would be my choice.

I've made it in excel a couple of times before for a bit of fun. Was quite easy but i'm not sure how good your knowledge is with excel and what your exactly after.

I used the same excel paper trading spreadsheet and tweaked it a little to get the stats for my betting account where i try to gradually build funds, it worked well.

Its self updating if you link it to a data feed EOD Yahoo is free.
You can run multiple systems/paper trading ideas and it will do all the work and give you comprehensive walk forward info.

But serious testing should be done first
Amibroker/Tradesim double would be as powerful as you can get.
Amibroker couples with tradesim

Link it with C++ (Vitamin "C") in Tradesim and your at Pro level.

Excellent TYVM.

I would like to give shorting a go and test out some wild theories I have without burning cash.
