Is there a way to use the data from the trade activity log to back-test alternate brackets?

I would like to use the entries from my trade activity log over a given date range to test different bracket setups and am trying to figure out an easier way to do it other than manually entering the trades in SIM mode.

You can certainly replay that the order fill data and watch the fills if you previously have done trading activity in simulation mode. Refer to:
Replaying Charts

You can also edit the the fill data before you do replaying. Refer to:
Trade Activity Log: Trade Activity Data Editing Menu Commands (Trade >> Trade Activity Log)

Thank you that is helpful.

Is there any way to use the data from the live trading activity log and input it into some sort of format the software can read to perform a test?
