Include the option to go back when backtesting and move forward per candle

Hello everyone

Do you believe that adding the option to go backwards during both manual and automated backtesting would be possible? This would allow one to, for example, replay bars during manual backtesting to gain a better understanding of how the trade played out.


Is it feasible to incorporate hotkeys for controlling the back and forth as well? Such as hotkeys to stop backtesting, advance one bar, rewind one bar, advance X bars, and rewind X bars.

Moving back and forth during the backtesting pause would also be beneficial.
