Why do you create thread in OnTimer() method? I'd recommend you just to your job in robot's thread right in OnTimer() method.

Consider one optimization: Do not call Clipboard.Clear() and Clipboard.SetText(ClipboardData) if clipboard data is the same as you set in previous iteration.

MarketSeries.Open[0] is the first value on a chart, if you want last one use MarketSeries.Open.Last(0) instead

If there is no such position on tick the Find() method returns null. Try this code:

     protected override void OnTick()
     {
         var position = Positions.Find("Test"); 
         if (position != null)
             ClosePosition(position);
     }

This is useless, you need to copy content of Journal tab after trade. It looks like this:

27/02/2014 07:51:03.230 | Request to Buy 10 XAUUSD is sent to server
27/02/2014 07:51:03.370 | → Request to Buy 10 XAUUSD is ACCEPTED, order OID1938727 created (27/02/2014 07:51:03.302 UTC+0)
27/02/2014 07:51:03.401 | → Order OID1938727 is FILLED at 1326.64, position PID1279309 (27/02/2014 07:51:03.306 UTC+0)

Snowman, in Journal tab you can see actual execution speed in milliseconds including network communication time. You can copy log and post it to the forum.

Which Spread settings do you use for backtesting? It must be "Fixed Spread" the same results.

RE: RE:

And, how to improve the speed of backtesting? Which feature from PC is better to upgrade? More RAM? SSD? or a better processor?

The best way is to design robots that do not slow down backtesting themselves. Usually the main problem is that backtesting runs your code on every tick and your code can be rather slow. For example you can perform your logic in OnBar()  method instead of OnTick(). You can also check IsBacktesting flag to skip some unnecessary operation (drawing to chart or output debug information).
