Hey, we're trying to do some backtesting with the Accurate Trading Sysstem replay, using the replay function on intraday charts which are linked. The charts are: 5m, 10r, 5r. We are jumping forward bar-by-bar on the 5r chart. The problem we are having, is that after jumping forward a few times, the prices/times are not synchronized. On /ES we get varying accuracy on quotes. It is making backtesting impossible. Sometimes it works for a little bit, with the prices being synchronized, and then goes back to being messed up. We could be jumping forward on the 5r, and seeing a move before it's happened on the 5m chart. Included a picture of the charts in question.

When you jump bar by bar, and the charts have different time frames per bar, they will lose synchronization between each other. Longer term we will implement a solution for this but it does not exist at this time.
