Indicators in Market Replay

[ederik]

I downloaded replay data for several consecutive days and opened up 5 and 15 minute chart windows. The problem is that the indicators (Stochastics, MACD) do not start at the market open when I try the replay. They seem to be waiting until there are enough bars for the plots to start. That really reduces the value of the simulation for me as I use two windows with several time frames. My next higher time frame is 15 minutes. That only gives me 28 data points in a 7 hour day. If the the indicators wait for 20 of them (which is what happens) that doesn't really work. The reason I downloaded several consecutive days is that I thought the indicators would use the previous days' data and be continuous, but that's not what happened. Is there a way to make this work?

Hello ederik,

Thank you for your post.

That is correct – depending on the ‘lookback’ period required for the indicator, it will necessitate a minimum amount of historical data.

Is it possible that changing the session template on the replay chart would resolve this ‘lookback’ issue? e.g. ‘Default 24/7’

Please let me know if this does not resolve the issue.

Great! Thanks. That did it. BDW are individual stocks available for replay or only ideces like NQ or ES?

Hello ederik

If your data provider supports this real-time data then you can record it for play back as well.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hi,

For some reason I cannot find the "New Thread" button. Where would that be?

Also, I am trying to use Pivot indicators. I am connected to Market Replay and using tick charts. The settings are:

PivotRangeType: Daily (the lowest it could go)
PriorDayHLC: UserDefinedValues

I've entered the values, but the lines don't show up on the chart. What am I doing wrong?

Hello ederik,

You may want to use ‘CalcFromIntradayData’ and also set Auto Scale to “True”

Please let me know if this does not resolve the issue.
