Forex Simulator Installation For Windows – Step-by-Step Guide

Forex Simulator installation process is very easy. It will only take you several minutes. Below we documented all the steps you need to do to install the software on a computer running Windows.

NOTE: On start-up, a new live Simulation is launched. So in the beginning only the upper (tick) graphs are plotted. This is normal. Just keep the Simulator running to collect enough market data.

E.g. if the middle graph is M1, then RSI 14 needs 15 minutes to start plotting.

First step, after the software download is complete, is to locate the downloaded archive file. It has the name ForexSimulator-x.y.zip. The numbers x.y in the file name denote the software version. On the example sceenshot below, we downloaded the Simulator software version 1.3 on the Desktop.
