cBot version control, backtest results saved with code version, cBot folders for easier list navigation

Hi team,

This features are IMHO a must in cAlgo:

- cBot version control (This feature, if achieved, will place cAlgo way above any existing forex algo trading platform).

- Backtest results persistence along with cBot code version and parameters used (this could be readily available in the UI, associated to each code version. This way we can easily know what we tried before and its results, avoiding re-testing which can demand a lot of time with tickdata. This also improves order and makes everything available for user easy analysis).

- cBot folders for easier list navigation (cBot list get too long. This is because while searching for the best algo, we try different things and don't want to lose what we have, so the list of bots and their variations starts to grow. We need some king of folder or folder tree to organize bots and their variations).

I honestly think this features would make cAlgo ROCK! 

Thanks

I'd also like to see GetSymbol supported in backtesting, Parameters as not must being an auto-property and visual backtesting.
