Playback - add checkbox [x] pause on candle close

[wildwex]

FEATURE REQUEST:

With PLAYBACK, you can specify a START and END date/time. You can also specify speed.

I'd like to suggest a checkbox to be added:

[x] Auto-pause on each candle close

Such a feature would PAUSE the playback when a candle closes.
To continue playback, we could hit the PLAY button again.

Having such a feature would enable us to set the speed where we'd like and take action on the CLOSE of a candle (as one might would a potential strategy) and test out various ideas. Without this feature we're having to run our PLAYBACK speed slowly and then 'time' our pause of PLAYBACK, which makes things more challenging if we 'overshoot' the close of the candle and unfortunately pause many ticks into the next candle.

Nudge.... nudge....

NinjaTrader Team - I could REALLY USE this feature. So many times during playback when I play at a high speed just to get to the next candle, this [x] feature I requested could really come in handy!

Hello,

Thanks for your post.


Deciding on features for future releases is not a simple black and white decision. There are many factors involved including but not limited to:

• Demand which is measured by objective user requests and subjective discretion on the part of our Product Management team.
• Feasibility
• Developer bandwidth
• Current projects in the queue
• Economics
