You can always back test your own system as long as you have some charting software. All it takes is time and diligence. Plus it allows you to see how the pair has moved in the past. Good luck back testing! :)

Before anything else you must ask yourself what timeframe are you going to trade in? What pair/pairs? What's the objective of your trading system in terms of pips or % return over a given time span? With these questions it will make the process of finding or building a good system much more efficient.

I have uploaded 2 excel files. One is for testing USD backed pairs and the other for JPY backed pairs. They are different because USD pairs calculate to 4 decimal points and JPY only to 2 decimal points.
