The ability to unload bars (i.e. move backward as well as forward) would be helpful too.

Walk through historical data
For indicator development and strategy practice/testing, it would be incredibly helpful to be able to walk the bars forward and have indicators update as bars are loaded. The market replay is close, but I don't really care about intrabar tick data and I don't like to have to wait for candle closes when I know I probably won't care for another 10-15 candles. Furthermore, when it's used on range or renko bars, a large number can print in a very short time, especially at higher time multipliers. I believe Esignal has a feature like this, but I can't remember what it's called.

Koganam,
I'd love to be able to do this. Does the feature have a name so I can look it up?
Another big reason would be for experimenting with manual trading strategies. Just being able to walk through the markets and see how indicators behave in real time and what I might do or add would be beneficial.
Lance,
I'd imagine it would be identical to the way renko bars are handled presently. That is, it would need to load and parse all of the data to determine when to print bars, but it would not need to display every intrabar tick. Really, it could just be the exact same bars as are on the charts, just with the visibility changed on command (and indicators being recalculated when bar visibility changes).

- Scroll the chart to the hard left.
- Use the right-arrow key (or click the mouse on the scroll bar advance arrow) to advance one bar at a time.

Also, I just feel more comfortable being able to see some blank space on the right.
