[User Discussion] - Backtesting Alerts

Hi, I have alerts that define various conditions under which I want to take a trade, which trigger an external program that takes it from there to do further analysis and determine whether to actually place a trade. This is working and I'm happy with it. I want to backtest strategies using the alerts, and figure I can do it by replaying the charts in "Calculate at Every Tick / Trade" mode, which does fire the alerts, and then parsing the log from the alert manager to see if those trades would have won or lost. It seems to work except that the Alert Manager log only shows the bar open time, not the actual time the alert would have fired. Is there a way to log the exact time the alert would have fired, in addition to the bar open time? Or another / better way to accomplish what I'm after here?
