True Real-Time Replay Mode

The current Replay mode offers a speed slider, but even at 1x the playback does not reflect the actual speed at which ticks were originally recorded. It appears that the replay engine streams ticks sequentially without preserving the real time intervals between them, which means the market moves noticeably faster during playback than it did live. It is also unclear whether the relative timestamps of incoming ticks are respected at all.

For scalpers and order-flow traders, this is a critical limitation. Effective training requires practicing entries, exits, and tape reading under conditions that are identical to live trading - including the real-world delays between ticks, the pauses during slow periods, and the bursts of activity during fast markets. Any deviation from the original timing distorts reaction times and undermines the training value of Replay.

Request:


Please add a dedicated "Real-Time" (1:1) playback option that replays ticks using their original recorded timestamps, so that the Replay speed exactly matches the live market conditions at the time of recording; no acceleration, no compression, no artificial delays. The existing speed slider (0.1x–50x) could remain as an additional multiplier on top of this baseline for users who want to deviate from real time.

This would make ATAS Replay significantly more valuable for scalpers and anyone training execution skills under realistic conditions.
