Post From: Can I do simulated trading based on alerts?

I have looked around and information on this is abundant, but yet I just can't seem to find a quick answer before I needlessly invest the time into learning backtesting/automated trading.

Basically, I subscribe to some indicators which naturally means I do not have access to the DLL study settings. What I do have are alerts that work exactly as I want them to. Is it possible to have back testing performed by simply using the alerts for the indicators that are generated? Basically, the indicator posts a green dot for long and a red dot for short, if that dot shows up the alert goes and that's what I want to test.

If this is possible, I have found some links here at SC talking about backtesting but any additional direction is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
