Post From: Chart Replay - Chart not advancing properly when used manually

I'd also like to say thanks for implementing this functionality, it helps a lot for my intraday back testing. Thanks for all your efforts, Sierra is head and shoulders above all other trading software out there.

I've got 2 further requests to help really improve the replay functionality:

1. I'd like to also ask if it's possible for you to implement the "To Next Bar" functionality in the same multi timeframe manner for all the charts in the chartbook. At present "To Next Bar" is the odd one out (compared to the other jump methods), as it's the only function that only works for a single chart (it actually advances all the charts in the chartbook by one bar with each click immediately knocking them all out of sync - the 5m 15m and 60m for example are all advancing by one bar each time, which makes it useless for anything other than a single chart).

2. the ability to replay historic data charts (daily, weekly, monthly), with a simple "To Next Bar" jump for each Daily bar that advances the weekly and monthly by one day. The present solution is not very useful as setting the chart to an intraday chart with 7 days for a week doesn't work very well (it seems to start the week on a tuesday), and is limited by the amount of intraday data available compared to much greater range of historic data .
