In this lesson, I’ll walk you through the exact process to link RealTest with high-quality market data (US, Australia, Canada — even global markets like Hong Kong) using Norgate Data and Metastock. You’ll learn how to:

• Set up your RealTest scripts from scratch

• Import watchlists and indices

• Choose correct start/end dates (and avoid lookahead bias)

• Build dynamic watchlists in Norgate for smarter testing

• Confirm your data is loaded correctly so you can actually see your charts

• If you’ve opened RealTest and wondered “Where do I even begin?” — this is your answer.

This tutorial is perfect for traders who want to test their systems scientifically without getting tripped up by messy or incomplete data. If you’ve been burned by data issues in backtesting before, this will save you hours of frustration.
