[Locked] - Replay Processing Step

While others have posted about issues with Replay (Replay mode stops working if you press pause and then play again) I wish to point out another issue that is new since updating from v. 1941.

I initiate a replay with Calculate at Every Tick, Speed = 1, and Use Start Date Time checked. When I click Play, I choose whether I want to clear simulation data or not, then I change the default Processing step in Seconds to 1 second. Everything was fine before, but not now.

In version 1941 and before, I could press Pause and then Play and it continued at 1 second per second. I could pause, change the speed to say 30 and hit play and the replay clock still continued to count by the second, just 30 times faster.

Now, in 1983, and some earlier versions, if I press pause and Play the replay clock is now ticking every 60 seconds. This happens even when the speed is set to 1, so it appears to be broken, but you have to wait a minute for the next update. There is no way to go back to 1 second Processing Step without stopping and starting again.

This issue only appears in Accurate Trading System Back Test mode and Calculate at every tick/Trade mode. Standard Replay mode doesn't have the issue.

We definitely have not identified any replay problems to this point in time. Definitely nothing is confirmed from that thread at all and we would not put any reliance on it. We are renaming your subject line. You should not put reliance on what other users are saying because they can be mistaken and do not understand the source of issues.

We will have a look at the issue you are reporting.

I found a workaround by setting the Replay Speed to 0.1 instead of using Pause.

I hope you are able to look at this. The workaround is not something I want to keep using.

I do have another data point. If I select "Single Chart", then the Pause/Play cycle keeps the proper processing step. If I select "All Charts in Chartbook", then it reverts to 60 seconds.

It will not likely be until two weeks before we can get to this.

Yes this has already been resolved as of about two weeks ago. It has been released.

Should be in 1997 but update to the latest prerelease now with Help >> Download Prerelease. This problem is resolved. If you are having some other issue it is not related to this at all. It could not be. It could not be. That is 100% certain. We are locking this thread now.
