You can't get bid/ask, so you have little confidence as to whether your trade would have happened in reality. That's maybe not too bad if your timescale is a couple of hours and you use market entry,...

This is so crucial. You are completely correct. For me, a fully automated day trader, backtest is pretty much useless. I transitioned a while ago to using only replay, which is just about OK for...

Replace?? What a poor idea. With cut and paste and putting common code in a seperate re-usable file it's fairly quick to develop code. I can see why a smaller language would be useful for some...
