Feature Suggestion-Sim Trade the Replay data stream

I am a discretionary trader. I sim trade the live data stream [scid] for practice.

I recently have been reading about using the replay feature.
I see that the trading activity data can be detached & saved separate from the SCID recorded data.
Also that auto trading & back testing features can used with the SCID replay.

#1. So I am thinking...why can't the SCID be used to sim trade against - after the original trade data has been removed , saved & renamed? This would enable people to sim trade the scid multiple times to perfect their methodology.

#2. Related - the ability to segment pieces of the SCID w related sim trade data in order to save
news events etc [ like Unemployment,FOMC & NFP days] to practice & review? Good marketing tool!!

later--------------Thanx!!

1, 2. While replaying the chart you can certainly perform simulated trading. There is nothing special to do. Simply enter the orders as the chart is replaying. This is supported.
