DislikedI wasn't going to comment on the Line vs Candle debate, I prefer candle helps you see support resistance / SL hunting spikes it's info which is nice to see, I did try without thinking the same as you and well that experiment failed badly.
But if your history tick data testing then you'll see the price move to the highs and low's and better see if spikes woulda took out your SL or not, so all is fine.
Waiting for Candle closes and Candle stick patterns are all pretty much useless so you are best to avoid in ways.
Look forward to Tick...Ignored
My backtest was based solely on close prices, not accounting for any high/low spikes, which Gumrai pointed out nicely
I believe you can download Ninjatrader for free. You just can't trade live with it then, but perhaps the Market Replay functionality is available.
