I've been looking at the Market Replay function and have been running into issues when using market replay data with tick charts. I download market replay data and set it to Playback connection. I load up a tick chart and so far everything looks good. The bars that get populated on the chart all look accurate. However, once I press play, the bars that get printed differ a lot than what it would have actually been during live trading and historical data. If I were to forward the time a few hours, the bars look accurate up until I press play again. It seems like there were a few forum posts on this topic before with one of them not having significant discussion or answer and the other indicating that market replay functions at 1 second intervals (which if that is the case, then tick charts are essentially useless with market replay).

Not sure if I'm missing anything or there is a tweak I can do. Is there anyway to accurately playback through market replay (or other methods) accurate tick charts that would resemble what happened live?
