We got Visual JForex for this cases, it does not need any programming skills to create your own strategy.

JForex tester is well optimised and efficient. If tests are slow then code and test conditions have to be optimised.
About complicity, well automated trading has never been simple.

Visual JForex is free and it is the easiest way to handle strategy by yourself.

Brace yourself. Learning automation with Visual JF takes couple of weeks. Compiled strategy binary code is obfuscated, so strategy decompilation will be almost impossible.
