I am happy to test this, got some serious issues
First the backtesting data in TICK mode seam to be crap, compared to cBot (I was using fx pro for testing), now for example GBPJPY 01/01/2016 to 01/02/2016 have serious fail, more then 2 weeks missing, also alot a spot everywhere is missing, I cannot get anything to work with this data
Now from the API,
* The HasTrailingStop does not work, alsays like HasTrailingStop = false...
* ModifyPosition(Position, Volume)
ModifyOrder fail, I for example Sell a 5k Volume, want to split the order over time while the price going down.
Here a shot of one order split into 5, so I sell 1k (start at 16 pips profit) et for every 4 pips (around) going down.
They seam to have a lot of issues, first the price should go up on each sell since the price go down (sell). It's doing the opposite. Also when the last order is close, only the last price is used in the trade statistics et graph, since the total net profit is 27.01 (but since the value on the history are not good its probably more like 5-6...) not 2.39, so the excepted result in the stats and graphs go like hell because it is not the good value. Without the split its 5.78 net profit I get...
I know it's beta, but I log this here to make sure someone correct the issue :)
Thank you!

Hi Sylvain,
Thanks for reporting your issue. Could we have a cBot and backtesting parameters that will allow us to reproduce is and understand if this is a bug or not? Regarding your suggestion, I will pass it to the product team.
Best Regards,
Panagiotis

Ok i will do what I can since my project is big, i need to create a small example for that.
Basically I was doing a ClosePosition using ModifyPosition :) since the ClosePosition with a volume is not working in backtesting. I was decreasing the volume instead of increasing the volume.
from 5000 to 4000
from 4000 to 3000
from 3000 to 2000
from 2000 to 1000
then ClosePosition

Also a suggestion, I mostly use Tick for my stuffs, That would be great to have in the Timeframe enum T1 to TX, I would like to test few stuffs using for example T20 with some indicators.
