Looking for existing post related to TOS closing on every bar to generate OHLC for backtesting.

I came across a thread talking about use thinkscipt to open and immediaely force each bar closed this will generate a file that contains the HLOC for every bar and then with some tweaking.. it allows you to export with a clean delimited by comma, hloc date that is sufficient to use for backtesting.. I have since lost that thread. Could anyone or the thread write please let me know where it is... I have been told more than once on this forum taht it can't be done. and you found an ingenious way.. Thank youl
I love the idea and would love to find that thread again.
