Post From: does sierra chart plan to improve bectests

I dont need orderflow tests.

I need test on multiple charts.

Properly sychronised OHLC would be enough but OHLC tester doesnt work for multiple charts.

So i need to use replay - but Accurate Replay doesnt skip empty periods. HA. What an insanity. I want to test only two hours every day - the rest 22 hours i want to skip within a second. But there is NO WAY to skip. - Instead, SC tells me I should use "higher speed" replay.

So I use higher speed and even with that "higher speed" I need to wait couple of weeks for a result.

So it is completelly useless - Dont tell me it is not!

Who can wait weeks for just one simple backtest???!!

What is the advantage that it is all written in C++ when u need to wait weeks for one simple test?? (which will have wrong results at the end anyway because it was "too fast" replay)??

Explain me this and I will be satisfied!

and they say: "There is nothing to improve here in backtest. The solution is with your own trading system." --->> This is absolutely not. Making SC to skip empty periods or multiple-chart synchronised OHLC bar based tests is NOT SOMETHING I CAN CONTROL FROM WITHIN MY STUDY.
