In Forex it's important to backtest a strategy. When you backtest you get to know how the strategy worked in history. Was the strategy profitable or not? How much was the drawdown? In MetaTrader you can backtest a short history with minute data. In HFT it's better to backtest Tick by Tick. Despite the fact you can't backtest the execution of trades you get a much better feeling.
