MANUAL BACKTESTING AND CLOSE PRICE CANDLES IN BACKTESTING

Hello, hoping someone can help.

I haven't used ctrader for years I just recently got back to it, the last time I used it I was testing my strategies using the cbot called “manual strategy tester”, now that cbot is not available anymore. how can you manually backtest a strategy on ctrader now?

the second problem I have is that the last time I used it doing manual backtests, the data was from close prices, now it's from open prices, and that messes up everything because you can't use rely on a signal until a candle is closed, so with open prices instead of closing prices it's full of fake signals that then change at the end of the day, I think now the platform is unusable to backtest.

can someone help? do i need to change platform?

thanks
