Let's say I am looking to play back a recent session that I have not yet seen (the data has not been loaded). How can I use use the replay function without having to visibly load the recent data first, which would give away the data? Basically, I need to connect to the feed to load the relevant data without actually seeing it past the start of the replay. There are a few ways to work around this, but it involves finicking around with each individual chart to be replayed. It is far from seamless. This is a fairly important aspect of chart replay, so I'm hoping there is a more established solution. Thanks |

Select Chart menu, replay chart. Check box beside Use Start Date-Time and input day and start time you want to replay. Hit Play and select the top choice and the chart will populate up to that date and time selected. Replaying Charts: Basic Chart Replay Instructions |

That is not my question at all. If I am unable to trade a session and have to replay it later, I must connect to the data feed to load the replay-able data. During this connection, the data will load and give away all your price movement. There are ways to prevent any visible data giveaways, which are inconvenient and imperfect at best; there is still situational risk of your chart being reloaded to expose what you are attempting to replay. My point to SC support is that there should be some implementation which can execute Replay Chart simultaneously with a veiled/background Connection to Data Feed, if desired. Currently my best option is to start the Replay Chart dialog, then Connect to Data Feed, then execute the replay quickly before the load of historical data is complete. You can also scroll all your charts back a bit to have the load occur in the background, then execute the replay. Nonetheless, the load and replay should have some sort of integration with one another so that there would be no need to meticulously fuss around. |

A little confusing, You input a date and SC only loads data up to that date. So you won't see any data after that date/time. You are wanting to replay the current day after the fact? Are you saying when the data loads, you can see what the market did for the day so you can't replay without seeing the result beforehand? Why not replay a day in the distant past? Other than that, IDK what else to do! |

Set your Chart >> Graph Draw Type to None. Then start your replay using the Start Date/Time and then change your Graph Draw Type back to a visible one that you want. You can also hide the chart that you do not want to view during the day.
