For the MC experts here: I want to replay Charts with 5-Min bars in a accelerated version, such as one 5-Min bar per Minute. What is the best setting to do this? (tick-by-tick, minute-by minute ?) my objective is to practice marking-up charts with tls' etc.

many thanks,

Vienna

I would do one bar at a go...
it forces you to focus on the EOB MADA.

...but wouldn't you miss the intrabar stuff, with the prorata volume etc.?

The purpose of my post is to make a decision between Ninjatrader and MC, for the JH method. I need replay and was wondering if MC's replay feature is up to par with Trade Navigator and Ninjatrader... I am used to MC and would prefer to stay with it, unless the replay function is much better in these other softwares....

if you can master EOB MADA...
intrabar is a cakewalk.

ps. depending on your indicators, you might not get the intrabar PRV. This is a complicated thing, playback does not give you a 100% "real life replay".... don't know how to explain it in 25 words. The best is to try it and see if it works for you.

i have no experience with TN

i have tried nt a few years ago... don't have any recollection tho.
nt is free, why don't you download it and give it a try for yourself?

If I may bother you for one more thing: for MC, I use Esignal...is OK, but expensive... do you have any recommendation for a datafeed?
