Hey John,

have a weird issue, on replaying yesteday, 4/9 as soon as i take up a position, sierra runs INSANELY slow, like, inexplicably. when the position closes it stays slow. ive tried playing like 3 days ago and it works just fine. but somethign about replaying yesterday, the 9th, is making it insanely slow. any idea whats going on? ive tried changing the global settings replay time thing to 1 second from 1 tick but it made no difference. its only once the position opens for some weird reason.

Is the position opened at the exact same point in the replay, or is this a manual order, so the exact time changes?

Also, what the Replay settings for:
- Charts to Replay
- Replay Mode

There is no reason why an order would affect the replay.

If this is a manual order, then try running the replay and enter the order at a different time and see if the "slowdown" occurs only when you enter the order or if it is occurring at the same time every time.

If it is an automated order of some kind, then try running the replay without that study on the chart (or duplicate the chart and work from that one). See if there is something about the study that is causing an issue.

It's manually set and I tried different orders. For some reason it always bogs down. It's set to standard replay and all charts (I use 3 charts open and 2 minimized) but I've been using sierra for months replaying every single day with these settings and I've never seen this happen before

I'll lyk what happens with tonight's replay. I'm not trading this week as it's spring break.

Analyzing this is not within the scope of our support.

One thing that may help though is to change the Intraday Data Storage Time Unit to 1 Minute:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often: 30.12 - Intraday Data Storage Time Unit. Historical Data Record Time Frame.
