Post From: Live data versus replay data problem

Ok I have been pouring through the documentation on replays to make sure I am correct when explaining this problem. What my study is doing (partly) is that every time the study is recalculated it checks to see if a certain float persistent variable is 0. If it is, then it makes the value of that variable, the LAST price instead. When all subsequent calls to calculate are executed, it checks if the current LAST price is different than the one in the persistent variable. If it is, it increments a counter that is stored in a integer persistent variable. If it is not different, it doesn't do anything at all. It then checks to see if this is a new bar. If it's a new bar, then it plots that counter on a line in region 2, and zeros out the integer persistent variable to start over.

When I have my data/trade settings to download 1 tick data, and run the "Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode" is what I'm interested in. In this scenario, what data is it using / how etc? That's what I need to understand. Thanks for your patience with all of my attempts at explanation here.

If I download 1 sec data instead, the results are totally different, and also, not what I'm looking for. Hopefully that explains more about what I'm trying to figure out.

I'd also be happy to pay for a phone call to help get this figured out.

Thanks
