The long-awaited playback and order/position tracker is done. As well as other exciting features...

Sounds good Andrew. Thanks for the hard work.
Assuming the playback is being used as another word for the replay, is there a user manual kicking around for it (even if it is just the specs given to the programmers which often serves as a good starting point for a user manual)?
The reason I ask is I am going to treat the purchase of 6.0 with exactly the same strategy I used for my decision to upgrade from Qcharts to MC in the first place. Specifically I will have a spreadsheet list of features/functions I will test over the trial period month and once the spreadsheet is ready the MC 6.0 evaluation will be a full time activity until I make my decision. It takes a while to create the test list and I do it by having it open during the trading day so I can add tests I have to do based upon my activity over a month or so. As you might guess the list of tests gets very large and I will not pull down the demo until I feel the list is complete. A replay manual would be used to add to the list of stuff to test.
Thanks,
John.
Will it work only for strategies or can we playback a simple chart, any kind of chart, for example, a 1 minute bar chart of the ES as if the markets was open.
Imagine we where out today and at he end, when we arrive home, we want to playback, or as bowlesj3 called it, replay the trading day so we could test some idea that we had.
Hi Andrew,You can play any chart the way it worked in the past. So it is a time machine. It works for indicators and strategies.
**Andrew: That's great news! , esp the bug fixes, as many of us use the betas for trading and bugs can disrupt that. I'm looking forward to testing the new ver6 this week.John,
Yes it can. We haven’t tested it on 100 charts, but it works fine for reasonable number of charts.
You assumptions are correct; we had to delay since we added some features we didn’t intend to include originally. Plus some bug fixing took longer than expected.
The release will be done this week.
* Andrew: I don't autotrade yet, so I just need reasonable charting stability. Since we can only run one copy at a time, I usually run the current betas. if too many bugs exist, I can revert back to the current 5.5.Steven,
Please be realistic and don't trade with MC 6 beta. It has a lot of exciting feature, but it should be debugged first!
