Market Reply Data for backtesting and optimazing

[vvu1980]

Hello!
Actually the subject is: I want to use real time tick data for backtesting simple strategies on Renko bars. I understand that historical renko bars and real time trading on renko charts, unfortunately, are absolutely the different things.
In this case, could you please explain, how I can use market replay tick data for testing strategies, if it is of course possible!?
Thank you!

Hello vvu1980, thanks for writing in.

Yes, it is possible. We recommend backtesting with the playback connection for strategies that use Renko bars due to the discrepancies you see during a regular backtest. We have a guide on downloading data and using the playback connection here:

To test your strategy while connected to the playback connection, add your strategy to a chart, select the Replay101 account and enable it.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.
