Playback Simulated Trading

[Doug Hayman]

I played with NinjaTrader a number of years ago (I think it was V6), and they had a really cool feature that allowed you to simulate trading against historical intraday data, by "rewinding" to a certain point in time, and allowing you to simulate trading from that point forward, by using data coming in from that point (using stored historical data in real-time).  This allowed the trader to practice simulated trading in real-time against stored historical data, without knowing "what was coming next" data-wise.

This would obviously require all the bid/ask deltas with timestamps to be stored (not sure if these are currently preserved in MT data files) and would be a healthy development exercise for sure. 

Certainly not a must-have, but would be a very sexy offering to add to your trading system platform.

we have playback internally, but it is not polished enough to release publicly at this time. May do it in the future, but not next month or so - not enough hours in the day.
