Playback vs. Backtesting/Live:
Why does Playback (with Market Replay) in NT8 require processing the full lookback period (e.g., 200 days of MarketDepth for an SMA) so slowly before the strategy can start, while live trading and backtesting can preload this data instantly? Shouldn’t Playback behave as close to live as possible?
Right now, I need to wait 2 full days (yes, you read correctly) with Market Replay and long‑term indicators before seeing the first trade. There must be a way, like in live trading, to process and preload those 200 daily bars quickly.
Startup Delay:
Is there a way to avoid waiting for the entire lookback period before the first order is generated when using long‑term indicators in Playback?
Data Preloading:
How can Playback be configured to preload historical data for long‑term indicators, so strategies begin immediately like they do in live trading and backtesting?
I’ve tried suggestions like “playback from selected” (as NT AI mentioned), but that didn’t work.
If there is no solution today, please consider entering a feature enhancement request with high priority.
