It is not possible to replay a historical chart. Only intraday charts can be replayed?

I saw this message in my message log window. Just wonder why it is?
What if people want to do daily backtesting?

Try this, no idea if it will work. In the chart settings set the Chart Data Type to Intraday Chart and then set the Ber Period Type to Days-Mins-Secs Per Bar, then set the Setting below that to 0-How many minutes in the day (of the Symbol)-0

How many minutes in the day for example would be 405 minutes for the ES. (9:30 am to 4:15 pm EST)

The idea here is to convert the Daily bar to minutes (like any other intraday bar)
