It has data going back several years and so you can choose your timeframe and currency pair and then have the candles come at you as slowly or as quickly as you wish and you "trade".It collects your performance stats too. John, you could probably set up as an affiliate of this company and get a good discount for your subscibers; I got one through my forex mentor Rob Booker.Check it out at www.forextester.com., I can honestly recommend it. Hope this is helpful! Forex Tester Pro is an excellent forex package for backtesting your strategies candle by candle without the need to be a computer programmer.
