I am just learning how to backtest EA's in MT4, but I don't have a large data set. Also, I have read that MT4 is not the best way to backtest.
Two questions. Where can I get reliable data to use for backtests. And is there a better program to use for backtesting than MT4?
Thanks!

I reccomend to use mt5, it is free and BT results are very close to real trading
It is slow though and mt5 programming language differs a lot from mt4

To run the EA on a live trade, a backtesting strategy over the same period will give some different results.
