Best API for Backtesting Strategies

Hi!

I am looking for an API which will allow me to back test my strategies before I apply them to my account.

I have noticed that the only API that seems to really fit (from its description) is the Price Engine SDK but it seems not to be available to the individual user.

What options are available to me?

Regards,
David
