Can you manually backtest by replaying a chart one bar at a time on daily timeframe?

Hello, the reason I am interested in Sierra Charts is for manual backtesting on the daily. Basically I would like to go back to a certain date and see the chart up to that date. Then click and have one day revealed at a time so I can manually do entries and exits to backtest ideas. From what I could tell on the literature this is only available on intraday charts. Is there any way to do it with daily bars?

Thank you!

You can replay Daily bars by setting an Intraday chart to 1 Day per bar. Here is the documentation for that:
