Playback lets supported historical market data run forward in time so platform windows can show the same period. It can help you learn the interface and review past exercises.
Key concepts
- Market Replay data
- Recorded market events for playback. Availability and completeness depend on the instrument and date.
- Historical Tick data
- Historical data replayed one Tick at a time; its detail may differ from Market Replay data.
Learn it step by step
- 1Connect to Playback from the Control Center and check that data is available for the selected date.
- 2Begin at a slow speed and observe the chart, linked windows, and playback controls.
- 3Record the data type, date, and study questions in your notes; replay results do not predict future outcomes.
