i mean it is really slow with Accurate Back Testing Mode. lets say i want to test a year or two, 4 markets simultanously because the system is based on intermarket situations.

with 1x speed i get the same results as in realtime live mode - thats ok - but if i would like to test a year back, i would have to wait half a year for the results!!!! and if i make it faster (lets say 10x or even 5x) , it returns completely wrong entries on places where they should not be and places that should be taken it doesnt make an order. so it is incorrect.

and this is not by far only my problem. as far as i talked with others who develop under siera, they have the very same problem. you should really consider what i am saying. if it was only me, then ok, it may be on my side, but since it has pretty much everyone, it is not on my side.

what works fine is OHLC bar based beckest - yeah, there the results are correct and consistent. but when u need more precise test, on replay or tick by tick data, is really absolutelly incorrect. u should try it - you will see even with your own code
