Hello,
While trying to backtest, in order to refine the strategies and using SIM orders & SIM accounts the Replay option is amazing but to backtest multiple years, multiple instruments and strategies, unless one uses fast multiples (x1000+) it would take a very long time to generate statitics. The high multiples in Replay mode obviously create huge slippage and unrealistic and very delayed backtesting fills.

What is the best way to generate detailed trade by trade backesting statistics into the TAL window if one does NOT need to see the trades on the chart and to greatly speed up the backtesting computes across diff markets and stategies.

I can't seem to be able to generate an internal/detailed backtest unless I use Replay window.

Thank you.
