Post From: Replay mode stops working if you press pause and then play again

Thank you the documentation on replay is very useful and was my first source of reference.

The markets being replayed are GBPUSD; EURUSD; USDJPY; USDCAD and all charts and timeframes have ASCIL studies.

My understanding was that if I am not skipping empty periods and given that all of the data I'm using for this is 1 minute, then I'd assumed SC would maintain synchronisation across all markets and timeframes, irrespective of whether it was actually Futures, SPOT FX or anything else?

1) Just to be sure, is this the case, or is it likely I'll still lose synchronisation irrespective?

2) I'm not auto-trading, or using tick data so the documaentation suggests ther use of - accurate trading system back test mode - to maintain synchronisation is not necessary, in addition this setting causes an issue for me as I cannot watch the bars unfold. As stated in the - replay section - as it will jump bars. For example on a 3 minute chart it may jump from 15:39:00 to 16:03:00; making - accurate trading system back test mode - not suitable for visual playback..

Out of interest, when I replay using a specific - start date-time - I notice that USDCAD and EURUSD are almost immediately 1 bar ahead of the GBPUSD and USDJPY on the 3 min charts which grows as time elapses.

On the 12 min charts when paused the EURUSD and USDJPY are almost immediately 1 bar ahead of the GBPUSD and USDCAD which is not even consistent with the 3 min chart at start?

Certainly I'm a little confused by this and possibly missing something.

Many thanks.
