Replay stepping by selected timeframe in multi-chart layout

48
As traders using multi-timeframe setups (especially SMC/ICT-based strategies), we often work with 4–6 chart layouts.
Currently, TradingView allows replay stepping only on the lowest timeframe, which makes realistic backtesting across multiple timeframes extremely difficult.

💡 We suggest allowing the user to choose which timeframe controls the step in replay mode. without limitations. even i use 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h charts in layout (at least all this timeframes steps allowed), 1d step could by good too (choose random day)...

This small change would:

massively improve backtesting for swing and MTF setups

allow realistic replication of entry triggers from HTF while observing price action on LTF

help both discretionary and algorithmic strategy development

📈 Many traders would benefit from this – especially those using multi-timeframe technical analysis, Smart Money Concepts, or backtesting with confluence layers.

Thank you, TradingView team — this small tweak would make a huge difference.
