IMHO market replay is not going to help.... not one bit..... actually it does the exact opposite.... it does harm and delays.
The only way I know how to deal with uncertainty is through actually being immersed in it and using the feedback from your emotions and feelings to create confidence intervals per trade... the real LIVE market not in sim not in level 2 playback not with historical bars etc.
I was in sim too long.... only good for learning one’s tools
Maybe it could be ok for testing a new tool if you don’t have time during the live market RTH.
IMHO NT8 is a great tool and good value.... but does require routine maintenance including but not limited to remaking chart templates, remaking workspaces and repairing the db.
Most traders using NT don’t understand this and when you don’t you can’t make sense of all the little odd behavior that grow and grow and you end up thinking NT7 or NT8 is crap.
But once you remake templates and workspaces all is perfect again.
So make sure you have fresh charts and a fresh workspace to reduce any error as best you can. Repair the db too just to hedge yourself asymmetrically before your replay.
