Hi SCE, since the docs state that for Replay Back Testing (manual or auto), intraday charts only are allowed, got to ask: if I'm using daily (or weekly) bars compiled from intraday data, it's acceptable to define limit-order logic with Bid or Ask prices, yes? I understand the replay/refresh rate influences accuracy here as well.

Asking since it appears obvious that Bid/Ask-referenced limit orders in a Bar-Based Backtest with daily/weekly bars wouldn't work.
