Backtesting would be enhanced if NT could pull in tick data and do "look inside bar backtesting", simulating the real market more closely.

That feature would be pure brilliance if it came to reality. At the moment I use replays to "backtest" my strategy. It is very time consuming and I have to manually keep track of account balances. Optimizing a strategy is also nearly impossible with this technique too. The amount of time needed to even run through a month of replays once multiplied by however many permutations needed to optimize would make anyone give up.

We have intrabar backtesting on our list of possible future enhancements.
