Thanks for the additional followup. I'll check the docs again, I've read them before but maybe there's been a change. I don't really follow what you've written but maybe the docs will make more sense to me. As for #4... ok I understand what you mean now. I've already done this actually, and what I've found is that yes, of course there is a speed slow enough that everything is totally solid and reliable. The problem is, for example with something I'm testing currently that speed is 60x. This will take an enormously long time to work through a year of data. Even running 6 instances with each doing 2 months (as I often do), this will take much longer than it should. It's just so disappointing to not be able to just let the software run "as fast as it can" and not worry about such things. As for the Spreadsheet suggestion, unfortunately that won't help when you have a strategy that doesn't always trade every day. In particular when I'm working on order flow ideas, they often legitimately don't get a trade in a particular day, so the only way I can know if that was a valid no trade, or a replay glitch, is to go through the list, find all the days that didn't trade, then look at the chart of that day. I understand that this is a way to find only the weekdays, there are other ways to do that as well so that's not a problem. The trouble is that I can't rely on SC to trade every time, any day, at any speed, when there is a valid trade to be taken. I was pretty sure I could fine-tune things to "just work" but I'm less confident in that assessment now. Thanks again, just saw your additional response so I'll check out those links. |
