Testing trading logic

[TradingData684]

Hi fellow traders,

Is there a possibility to get some random data of the TWS during off hours or during the weekend? I dont want to wait until the market opens to develop my strategies and test them. So is there a way to get some random or simulated data when the markets are not opened?

Kind regards and thanks in advance :)

There's historical data that is available 24/7.

There used to be the edemo account with fake realtime data but it has unfortunately been discontinued by IB.

Thanks, that is the feature I was looking for. Sad to here that it is not available anymore. Is there any other alternative, since IB decided to cancel it?

Yes, it is possible to access simulated or historical market data during off hours or weekends to develop and test trading strategies. Many trading platforms and data providers offer simulated trading crypto revolution environments or historical data that you can use to backtest your strategies.
