Post From: Skip/Cancel Downloading Data During Backtests

Hi Bradh, I dont think your response is relevant to what gtaranti is asking. The auto-reconnect/download at the onset of replay and also at the end of replay is a biggest pain introduced in recent releases. It was never like this in older releases. This happens regardless of how much date filter you apply it will always reconnect and go through the download process. If I have more than one chart or chartbook (which most of us do during strategy development and testing), but only want to backtest one chart, the reconnect feed downloads data for all charts taking a very long time depending on what you have open across all your chartbooks.
I just dislike the lack of control with data feed connectivity. I suggested this several years ago to introduce capability of controlling data feed at the chart or chartbook level. It's an unnecessary load on CPU/GPU for charts you just want to keep open for access or not in frequent/active use.

If an ASCIL study could control disconnect/reconnect, that would be great!
