1) In your "what SC is working on post" you mentioned that you will be making major improvements in ACSIL; can you please briefly expand on the sort of improvements you plan on making?

2) Can you please consider adding read/write functions to control (start, stop, page for status etc) BackTesting using ACSIL functions; there are currently some sc functions that can control replay but I think they are currently all read only. ACSIL BactTesting functionality would open up Sierra Chart up to being able to BackTest multiple system trigger conditions instead of manually backtesting single triggers; this would be a vast improvement on what I think we have now? If there is currently a way to use ACSIL to BackTest can you please provide me with some tips.

Regards

+1.

For the multiple signal part it would be useful perhaps to have the option to reference seperated instances of s_SCPositionData by sim account.

This would help to resolve certain conflicts with multiple signal testing, if setting up 1 signal per sim account all on the same chart.

1. No. This is definitely not within the scope of our support. We cannot get involved with this.


2. Something like this is planned.

You can already do this now.

There are options to control the Replay. Refer to the following for a start:
sc.StartChartReplayNew()

Thank you! I'm building an automated backtesting/tuning system. Currently, the plan is to first run some trade systems on the Bar Based Backtest for initial optimization. This seems to be the only piece missing. The replay controls will be great and I plan to use these as well to refine the systems.
