Dynamic Playback Speed

[dwrety]

Hi all

Have you been using the replay functionality to practice your skills and get familiar with your order executions? Well, here is the problem. If you want to spend a good portion of the night practicing, you certainly want to speed up the process of waiting. 2x, 4x or maybe 10x 20x the speed is sometimes okay but when it comes to order placement, I always slow down the speed to 1x and execute my order and then speed it up again.

I am wondering if I can write a dynamic speed control. For example, the 1st 10 sec and the last 10 sec of a bar plays at normal 1x speed and the rest of the bar plays at a user defined high speed, so that we don't have to constantly pause or rewind to the previous tick. Same for other candle stick types I guess but mostly for timely based bars. However, I don't know where to start, can someone with experience respond to this and thank you.

Hi dwrety, thanks for your question and welcome in to the forum. Unfortunately, there is no way to interface with the playback controller through a script. There may be some way of controlling it through an external C# program, but this would require unsupported code and further research into the topic of programmatically manipulating WPF controls.

I see, thank you. I hope this can be a feature in some future updates.
