I want to backtest, but when I push play, nothing happens. I have enough Intraday Data downloaded for it to work. Any time I push play, nothing happens, or if I start messing around with the Replay Panel, it would inch forward 1 tick, then just stop and not work again. I searched it up, but couldn't find anything about it.

Most likely, you have the "Use Start Date-Time" enabled and you have a Date-Time that is before the existing data in the chart. Refer to the following: Replaying Charts: Use Start Date-Time Or, you may be trying to replay multiple charts and not all the charts have data that goes back far enough.

I have my execution chart and DOM chart; both have more than 100+ days downloaded. But It's stuck on "Downloading Continuous Contract Data"; does this usually take more then 10min?

It can take a long time to download data, especially if it is a continuous contract chart with many days loaded. But, you should not be getting the message of "Downloading Continuous Contract Data" when you start a replay. That should only occur when you first open Sierra Chart. You would need to wait for that message to go away and for the chart to fully load before you could then start the replay. Are you getting this message when you start a replay?

The message appears no matter what. I always wait for my chartbooks to fully load before doing anything. I have my DOM & Chart Indtraday Day downloaded far enough for it to work. I wanted to just backtest last week, and I have over 100+ day data downloaded, but it won't work for some reason.

We want to make sure you are getting a message that states "Downloading Continuous Contract Data". Is this correct? And you get this message when you start the Replay? Also, how are you starting the "backtesting"? For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
