The same can be achieved (with GREATER accurracy), by just using TICK data or one second data. Use TimeFrame functions to generate signals in ANY interval and run backtest on tick/1-second data. You get 100% accurracy, reports are generated EXACTLY (with millisecond resolution) and you get everything better than on "other platforms".
