Does Sierra Chart support tick level backtesting? I'm currently using MultiCharts and backtesting with IBOG does not produce accurate results.

Here is an example of a project I paid @eboarder to do for me:



I didn't have time to learn Sierra's intricacies and wanted to know its capabilities, I believe he's done a good job with showing off a tick level backtest that requires bid/ask data as well, and has documented it. I asked him to post it publicly for all to benefit so enjoy.

I saw the link in this post and was wondering if it was meant to be public but is not anymore? Can it be made accessible?

I have been struggling to do a bar footprint based backtest with MultiChart and my broker does offer SierraChart. If I could make this work, maybe I can switch to SC and be done with MC.

Thanks
