Hi,

I am backtesting in replay mode for my ACSIL autotrader for today. The chart is 1 tick chart and i want to backtest and calculate at every tick. what steps should i select during replay? i tried going as low as .01s but the result does not seem to be consistent with what i got during live testing today.

please advise.

In the Chart Replay Mode select Calculate at Every Tick/Trade (High CPU Usage)

It is a good idea to start at a slow Speed like 10x, before speeding it up. If you try to go too fast and there are a lot of calculations, you may see issues. Also, starting paused allows everything to catch up before you start debugging.
