Can eSignal Premier backtest "within" the bar?

[stuuu]

Hi there,
I am interested in backtesting a scalping-type strategy on charts using daily bars, with entry and exit within the same bar. As a result it is important that my backtest track movement "within" the bar.

I have looked at all the backtesting tutorials but cannot find mention of whether eSignal uses tick-based backtesting or just OHLC values for its backtests.

I would be grateful if someone could clarify this point for me, or refer me to any documents about this point if available.
warm regards,

Stu,

Back testing just uses OHLC values.

You can do a tick replay on a chart which contains your strategy to see how it would have traded over the last 10 days.

For that to work you would have to either put some sort of visual indication of entry/exit prices, or use debugPrint statements to output the prices.
