We often get questions about our Smart Forex Tester – how to use it?
First of all, Smart Forex Tester is a generic name. We have several different products, but they all are included into the same binary, which is called Smart Forex Tester.
You only need to install the software once, and then – for free products – you only need to switch between the licenses, which you can do from the same GUI.
Basic (stand-alone) licenses are free – but you need to reinstall the licenses every time you want to switch between products.
The free licenses are valid as long as you stay our subscriber, and you can switch between them as many times as you want.
Paid bundles add a lot of value because you can use bundle components simultaneously in any combination. Obviously, you don’t need to switch licenses, either.
When you start the software, you will have your free license generated in no time. Just select the product and enter your subscription email.
Here you can read more details how to get a free licence (video guide).

For the manual trading you need the Simulator. Check out this guide.
If you want to test an automated strategy, the instructions are here.
