Post From: Couple of questions about backtesting

The replay back test time is affected by the speed of the computer and the Data/Trade Service Settings >> Intraday Data Storage Time Unit.

So 15 minutes could very well seem about normal.


Other question: in Bar Backtest, it seems like a) the fill info and lines connecting fills on the chart do not appear. I assume this is correct but want to verify.

For me, the Bar Backtest seems plenty accurate, but it doesn't provide the sort of visual feedback and detailed trade/fill/order info in the Trade Activity Log that Accurate Replay provide.
We see these during a bar based back test. Make sure you have them enabled:

Here they are on a bar based back test we just did:

And we could see them as the back test was running.
