Replay Connection |
ArthaChitra can save the incoming real-time ticks, including Level-II data, which can be played back later via the Replay Connection.
Please follow the below steps to save the incoming real-time data as replay data
In Main View menu bar goto Settings > Options
In the Options dialog click on the 'Data' tab
Check on the option 'Append replay data'
Click on the 'Add Instrument' button
In the Add Instrument dialog click on the Add (+) button on the top left
In the Instrument Manager View select the instrument of your choice and click on the Ok button
Click Ok to save and close the Add instrument dialog
Restart ArthaChitra
Now connect to any live connection and make sure to open the Level-I/Level-II stream to save the replay data. Opening a Chart or Time & Sales View or adding an instrument in the Market Scanner View etc will open the Level-I stream. Opening the DOM View or the Level-II view will open a Level-II stream.
If you open a Level-I stream then the Last along with the TOP level Bid/Ask data will be recorded. If you open a Level-II stream then the Last along with upto 5 (five) levels of Bid/Ask data will be recorded. High, Low data is calculated locally.
Note:
The replay data as saved by ArthaChitra can take up considerable disk space. As such it is advisable to save replay data for a limited number of instruments only.
Replay data are saved from incoming real-time data only. You cannot download historical replay data.
The Replay Data can be found in the folder <My Document>\ArthaChitra 2\Data\<Instrument>\Replay
Once you have saved the replay data, you can play-back the same by following the below steps:
In Main View menu bar goto Connection > Simulator > Replay
In the Replay dialog select the replay date (of which replay data is saved)
Set the time from where you want to start the play-back
Set the replay speed. You can increase or decrease it on the fly.
