Hi Tom, Thanks for this information. I’ve spent the last couple of day working with it and I’m pretty sure the issue is that I had the Replay setting as “Charts with Same Link Number” (and didn’t have the charts linked), which caused the Instance 2 Sim Replay spreadsheet to have few values (values stemming from “Study/Price Overlay”) that didn’t match the Instance 1 live values at the time in question. I did some trials with the different combinations of the “Study/Price Overlay” settings in “Data Copy Mode”, (“Use Earliest Value from Corresponding Timeframe in Source Chart” and “Use Latest Value from Corresponding Timeframe in Source Chart”) and from “Bar Time Matching Method” (“Containing Match” or “Nearest Match”) and they don’t seem to affect the values when “All Charts in Chartbook” is selected. Currently I have those “Price/Study Overlay” settings set at “Use Earliest” and “Containing Match”. Is this what you’d recommend? In my Replay box, I don’t see an option to check “Start Paused”, which would be handy. Only if I choose “Clear Trade Data from Start Date-Time for Symbol and Account” does the chart replay start paused. For the “Study/Price Overlay” anomaly, how often does it occur (roughly)? 1% of the time? 0.1%? From the information on the SC Forum, I can’t determine which Replay Mode I should be using. Is “Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode” better than “Calculate At Every Tick/ Trade (High CPU Usage)”? Now that I’ve changed to “All Charts in Chartbook” for Replay, when I press “Play” then choose my option for clearing data, a box pops up asking me to “Enter Processing Step in Seconds”. I’ve read what I could find online and in SC Support Forum but I don’t understand what it does. From my trials with it, it seems that a lower number is more accurate (more like real time tick by tick data), yet when I put in “0.01” the replay is just too slow. Is there some rule of thumb for what number to use here? Is there some correlation between what it should be and the lowest timeframe chart? For example, if Chart 1 is 45 minutes and Chart 2 is 15 minutes and Chart 2 has “Study/Price Overlay” studies importing data from Chart 1, and Chart 2 has the Spreadsheet System for Trading, what number do you recommend for "Processing Step in Seconds" to get an as Real-Time, tick for tick, accurate, replay as possible while being able to Replay 1 year in about an hour or two? Thank you again for your help. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. |
