Whats the best broker for backtesting an EA

[Tinashemk1]

My current broker(IC Markets) shows data only since November 2020 for 5 minute charts(in the Strategy Tester). Is there a way I can backtest an EA for periods earlier than that?

The best broker for backtesting is an ecn broker account. Standard and demo account are not that good for backtesting. Try ecn or zero spread account brokers

If this novice is better to try the center bills. It's better than a demo account

XM is a good broker Exness too, Ic markets, Pepperstone !!!

Usually i will get more history data folder from the provider, since in any provider MT4 just give short historical data, should add more data for backtesting.
