Post From: Skip/Cancel Downloading Data During Backtests

Regarding post #1 this does not make sense. A back test has no association with the downloading of historical data. None at all. A back test does not trigger downloading of historical data. There is no association at all. Such functionality does not even exist.

The only thing we can think of is that if the back test is causing Sierra Chart to freeze, maybe it is losing the connection to the data feed. And then when Sierra Chart becomes responsive there is a new connection. However, there is not going to be re-downloading of data. Only a quick check for missing data at the end of the chart data file.

Something else is going on that we are not aware of in your particular case.

This is definitely completely untrue:

The auto-reconnect/download at the onset of replay and also at the end of replay is a biggest pain introduced in recent releases.

There is nothing new at all. When you start a replay, chart data does have to be loaded from the local file, and when a replay is stopped, the chart data also has to be reloaded. But there is no remote downloading of data.
