Dear support,

As far I can read in https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ReplayChart.html#ReplayMode "Enter Processing Step in Seconds" is used in the "Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode" to set the period of time to calculate studies in a multiple chart synchronized replay

Could you please explain why "Enter Processing Step in Seconds" has to be set also in case of a "Calculate at Every Tick/Trade" multiple chart synchronized replay?

If the calculation is done at every tick/trade I suppose that "Enter Processing Step in Seconds" is not needed anymore but is still requested as soon as I start a replay and I can't understand the reason

thank you

We just want some time to go through the code first to make sure that we answer this properly.

Our initial answer is that it is necessary because it will interrupt the processing of the Intraday chart data for a particular chart at the specified number of seconds before going onto the next chart.

did you manage to go through the code and find an answer?
I still would like to have a deeper understanding of how I perform my backtest/replay.
Thank You

We are going to do this today or tomorrow. And we will make sure the documentation describes this fully.

But actually we do know enough at this point that the reason the Processing Step In Seconds is required is that although there is a calculation at every tick, there still are multiple ticks processed per chart for the specified time increment in seconds before going onto the next chart to be calculated.

Otherwise, the whole process would be incredibly inefficient.
