Cool What's my most economical option for building screen time using market replay and MP?

This is what I propose: I am in the process of making the long transition of going from using EOD charts and trading longer term to attempting to focus more on Auction Market Theory, MP and a day trader time frame...

What I plan to do is come up with a way to use a market replay feature so I can come home and replay tick charts and short term bars/candles along with MP.

Since I won't actually be using the data in real time, I was hoping there may be a more economical option that having to pay for real time data and MP.

I also definitely understand that it's a whole new ball game when one is actually day trading vs just building screen time (It works the same for swing trading and papertrading LOL).

But at this point I figure my best bet is to just do some serious market replay when I get home and just get screen time and build an understanding through application.

I was wondering if anyone knew any economical ways of doing this?

I asked a version of this question before, but I wanted to be more specific with this one.

Summary:

I want to come home from work at night and spend time doing replays of tick/short term data of the previous trading day using Market Profile and volume data. Trying to keep from having to go all out on data expenses...

Thanks a million in advance. End Of Day data is much more simple, and I just get a little confused with what I actually need to accomplish my goal of building up screen time.
