Suggestions / question about backtesting

Hi,
Is it possible to do a backtesting with external data?
It seems that currently the only possibility is to use the data coming from your servers. I have more precise informations (precision to the tick) and would like to use those instead of server's data. Data precision is critical to high frequency trading and unfortunately you don't offer such a precision. I don't make a reproach as the amount of data to store is massive and I don't consider it as your role, as long as you offer a possibility to replace it by data from other source.

I'm agree with PsykotropyK. Tick-data is critical to high frequency trading. When do you think it will be avaliable?
Regards.
We cannot provide a time estimate for the release of tick-data for backtesting at this time.

So, could you tell me which is the current data precision? I mean, if it's not tick-data.

In nearest future we plan to provide two options:
- Backtesting with tick-data from our server (maximum precision)
- Ability to use one minute data from external source
We will also consider an ability to use tick-data from external source.
Hi,
May I ask you why the ability to use one minute data from external source is available, but not the ability to backtest with tick-data from your server?
It seemed that you were going to update the two of them at the same time.

We will release this in the future.

I'm very interested in backtest my robot with tick-data precision. Do you know any other way to do that?
While we are waiting for this improvement in cAlgo, can you suggest us any other easy way to backtest our robots with that kind of precision?
