>well, it would be nice in live trading if past signals on the RT chart
reflected actual trades made. If conditions at the last developing bar
are not the same as all historical bars then this will not be the case.

The platform features that are involved in representing evolving bar
conditions during a backtest are commonly known as:

1.  Look-Inside-Bar  (LIB)
2. Intrabar Order Generation  (IOG)

These features are available on some other platforms, and they are quite
nice to have.

One caveat though is that you have to have available the higher
resolution data in your Cache for the feature to work.  IOW, you can't
look-inside 5m bars to the tick level unless you have tick data.  No
surprise there.

Also, backtests with LIB/IOG are _much_ slower, by a factor of
approximately the ratio of base-bar to inside-bar data resolution.

Nevertheless, where accuracy is a concern, these are great feature to
have available.
