Use this as a template, the deal is you use Visual Studio to create a Windows Application, use the designer to create your forms:-

I noticed this a day I backtested a bot which is tick sensitive. At every tick, desitions based on global P/L are made. For example: close trade if there's a 0.50 profit and open another again... or vice versa if its a loss then close and open another again. If there's a movement which changes my P/L to .40 then .55 then .45 there would exist a closed trade in profit and a trade opened. but if the data doesn't inlude the 2nd tick then the trade will still be open (.4->.45) the close trigger will never be executed. That's why ticks does affect the performance of the equity curve.

So i backtested it and i had an unusual result for just a period of time... This was somepoint between June 2015 and August 2015

So I did a similar procedure Cysecbin did... I exported the difference between the Ticks processed by the bot vs the MarketSeries.TickVolume to a .txt and i got interesting results...

Statistically the results are these, seems like all the time ticks processed are only the 80%-60% of the real ticks existed. The only moment the majority of real ticks were processed (90%-100%) happened during these 2 months at 2015, which reproduced almost 20k trades resulting in a huge profit for my algorithm, affecting the results dramatically... 

I would like to know how to respond to this situation...

Backtesting Options with custom timeframes

I've just written a bot which reads renko graphics, and I want to backtest it but this function isn't available, do you have plans to incorporate it in the future?

        public static Color GetColor(string colorString, int alpha = 255)
        {
            Color color = colorString[0] == '#' ? Color.FromHex(colorString) : Color.FromName(colorString);

            return Color.FromArgb(alpha, color);
        }

Thanks dude!
