Post From: Request to support replay of Historical Charts

I understand that current Historical Charts replays are not supported: Paper trading of spread trading? | Post: 7195

The problem arises when:
1. I tried to set Intraday Charts to 1 day or more and Sierra Charts automatically defaults to Historical Charts and will not let me set it to Intraday Charts (to 1 day per bar)? I use Interactive Brokers.
2. If I have studies on weekly or larger charts, it is more relevant to a setting of 5 days (which equals to 1 week) or 20 days (which equals to 1 month) per bar.
3. This is most important reason of why I am requesting it. That is: if I have a mixture of Intraday and Historical charts of the same symbol, they will simply not replay together. In relation to point 1 above, if you can assist in terms NOT have Sierra automatically defaults to Historical Charts (I use Interactive Brokers) and SC Historical Data service - and forces it to remain with Interactive Brokers data service if I switch a chart to daily, weekly, etc., this reason may not be as relevant.

I am sure there are technical reasons that I am not aware for this request but it is also a fact that replaying all charts seamlessly will make a trader's life much easier.

Thank you for your attention in advance.
