<p>One of the best things about NakedMarkets backtesting software is that updated <strong>historical backtesting data is included in the purchase price</strong>. </p>
<p>So you don't have to pay an additional monthly subscription fee to get data for the markets you want to backtest. </p>
<p>Downloading historical data in NakedMarkets is easy. I'll show you how to do it and give you a few more tips on how to get the most out of the software. </p>
<p>If you don't have NakedMarkets yet, be sure to <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/naked-markets-software-review/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">read my full review</a>. </p>
<p>Otherwise, here's how to download historical data. </p>
<h2>Why Fresh Historical Data is Important </h2>
<p>Many so-called “backtests” published online only test a strategy over a period of 1 to 2 years. </p>
<p>The problem with these tests is that they do not cover enough market cycles to be a valid test. I talk about this more <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/minimum-backtesting-trades/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. </p>
<p>When you download as much historical data as possible, you'll have a greater understanding of how your trading strategies will work and will therefore be more likely to work in the future. </p>
<p>Updating your data with the latest information will also help you see if your trading strategy has stopped working. </p>
<p>So it's important to see both the old data and the newest data. </p>
<p>With that, here's how to update data in NakedMarkets. </p>
<h2>How to Download Historical Data</h2>
<p>Start by going to <strong>Tools > Data center</strong> in the menu at the top of the screen. </p>
<p>From there, you'll see this window. </p>

<p>Under the <strong>Symbols</strong> tab, check all of the markets that you want to download data for. </p>
<p>You can also select each individual market and change the <strong>Broker</strong> in the <strong>History</strong> section of the screen above, if you want to use data from a different broker. </p>
<p>Once you have set everything up, click the <strong>Update</strong> button to download the data. </p>
<p>The program will then show you which market(s) it will download. </p>

<p>Once the download has finished, close the <strong>Data Center</strong> window and start backtesting. </p>
<h2>Add Your Own Custom Data </h2>
<p>If NakedMarkets doesn't have the data that you want to backtest with, you can use the <strong>Data Import</strong> tab to add your own data. </p>

<p>Simply click the <strong>Data Import</strong> tab at the top of the <strong>Data Center</strong>. </p>
