When you set the "Intraday Data Storage Tme Unit" in "Data/Trade Data Service Settings" to 1 min
The replay will give you one snapshot every minute, which has a very unrealistic looking.

I set it to 1 sec, which is close enough to real streaming data, set it to 1 tick will make the .scid file significantly
larger, and will take much more computer resources during replay

No comment on your study, since I don't know what it does.
