The timeframe lock

The first problem with bar replay. It runs on one chart, and every chart above it shows a candle that had already finished.

The objection to bar replay is not that it is old fashioned. It is that it changes one specific thing, and that thing is your bias.

One chart at a time

A replay runs on the chart you started it on. Pick the 15 minute and the 15 minute is what steps forward.

That is fine until you need the charts above it, and the reading in modules 34 and 35 needs them first.

A replay steps one chart, and your reading uses four.

The chart above is already finished

Stop a replay in the middle of a trading day and open the daily. The candle for that day is drawn complete.
