How to Activate and Use Bar Replay in Charting Tools

How can I activate Bar Replay? 

Simply click the Bar Replay button located on the top of the chart to access the replay panel.

The replay buttons are user-friendly, similar to those found in any media player.

Once the replay panel is opened, the chart enters the starting point selection mode. Move your cursor over the chart area, and a blue vertical line accompanied by scissors icons will appear.

Choose the initial position on the chart by clicking on the desired date and time. Then, press the Play button to begin automatic playback. You have the option to modify the playback speed either beforehand or while the replay is in progress.

To manually advance by one step, press the Forward button.

On the chart displaying the Bar Replay, the relevant status will be visible.

You have the option to choose a different starting point even while the replay is active. Simply click on "Go to..." and pick a specific segment of the chart to set a new starting position by clicking on the desired area. 

You can also run the Bar Replay simultaneously across all charts in the layout, allowing you to observe how different symbols or timeframes evolve at the same moment. 

When switching to a workspace containing multiple charts, you can select the replay mode: either for the current chart only or for all charts at once.

In single chart mode, the replay is initiated on just one chart, and it remains unchanged from its previous state. In “All charts” mode, selecting the starting bar causes the starting line to appear across all charts in the layout. As you choose the starting point on one chart, all charts are synchronized in time, ensuring that the starting point for the replay is visible on each chart.

Additionally, you can stop replay and instantly switch back to live data. The "Jump to real-time chart" button enables you to accomplish this with a single click.

You can dismiss the replay panel by clicking the [X] button on it or by selecting the Bar Replay button located at the top of the chart.

• Server-side alerts continue to be triggered based on live data;

• Creating new server-side alerts is not possible during replay;
