However, in order to backtest stocks, your tick data must be in the format of the ES data. If you have stock data in the same format then you can backtest stock data (tick data in format, time, price). The ATS does also simply trade a single security. The settingswould need to be changed from FUT to STK and the expiration date removed. Part of the ATS is the ability to backtest.
