I absolutely agree, and I'm pretty sure that's the type of bar @Techfan1128 (and me) are looking for!
Having a 5 tick range bar have to move 6 ticks to plot an up bar skews the backtest results, but one way to account for that gap is to add it as part of your SLIPPAGE. With the current NoGapRange bars you need to add an extra tick of slippage each way. While this could invalidate many strategies, thats reality I guess.
Realistically however, you need to have 2 ticks of slippage per order (4 ticks round trip) with this bartype since you have to pay the existing one tick spread on most futures markets in RTH.
I realize its been a while since this thread was active, but do let us know if you find something! Will do the same from my end
