I went back to July, 2018 to simulation trade Crude Oil on the Chart Replay. The Trade Activity Log records the trades as M19 trades which is the current active month. Is the Chart Replay actually trading this contract that far in advance or is it trading the most active contract at the time and just showing M19 in the Trade Activity Log?

It sounds like you are using a Continuous Futures Contract chart so the trade symbol will always be logged as the current symbol of the chart. There really is no way around this.

This is documented here:
