Post From: Show order fills on replay scattered

We did reword post 11 because when we thought you said Stop we were interpreting it as a pause and we knew nothing could change with a pause but then we later realized you meant an actual stop which causes a reload of the chart data and would rebuild the Trades list.

We have have now had a chance to look this over and cannot reproduce the issue. Nor does it make technical sense so long as this is unchecked:
Chart Settings: Load Order Fills for Current Day Only (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)


So long as this Order Fills Date Time is set to 0:
Chart Settings: Order Fills Start Date-Time (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

But even those two settings will function according to how they are documented. But based on what you want to do, they should be set as we said.

Then go back and replay a trade for 5 min or whatever and stop again.
The test we ran is we performed some manual trading during a replay which effectively is the same as automated trading, stopped the replay and the order fills were identical. Now when we did a replay again, it is not possible for us to see the prior trading activity because that is not capable of being replayed. This has never been the case. You are describing somehow the capability to replay order fills but there is no such capability. This has never existed in Sierra Chart.

It appears that the entry and exit points are the same but the connecting lines are not connecting to the correct places and this is why the lines are scattered.

Make sure that when you are running another back test, that you click Yes to clear the existing trade data. Otherwise, you are going to have a confusing result with more order fills.

At this point with version 1823, effectively nothing has changed. The functionality in question remains the same.

now all of a sudden my fills are all over the place after I replay an area that I've previously replayed.
Also for the record, this makes no sense. It is not even technically possible. An order fill that is already in existence, is going to have a very specific Date-Time and map to a specific chart bar containing that time. You are making it sound as though something is seriously wrong and this is just not the case at all. The functionality works perfect and is rocksolid and has been confirmed to be the case. There simply cannot be anything wrong here whatsoever so long as you follow our instructions in regards to those two particular Chart Settings described above.

At this point, further technical help will require a paid remote assistance session. That is the only way we are willing to proceed.
