Unfortunately there is no code yet published that does this. If you would like you can ask about writing an article with code about this (and get some money).
I think many will like this idea!
I was told that you could create an artificial symbol like EURUSD_art from tick data od EURUSD and test on this!

You can do that without code.

And what timeframe are you using ? Even using real ticks, you need bars data. So you have to import/create them.
Backtesting using a custom symbol and real ticks :
They are still some problems as actually I used MT5 data from EURUSD (export) to create a custom symbol (import ticks and bars). Still it gives some "real ticks absent" or "ticks prices not matched 1 minute bars". But it works.
You can do that without code.
Really? I have a data base (~400GB) of tick data in ASCII. Now how can you use them for back testing "without code"?
I'd just love to know!
