Short answer

Bar Replay depth depends on the symbol, interval and available historical data, and plan-related access can also matter. Try a higher interval before assuming an upgrade will expose the exact date you need.

What you may be seeing

  • You cannot select a replay start date far enough in the past
  • Older intraday history is unavailable in replay
  • A higher timeframe can go further back than a lower one

Most likely causes

  1. The symbol has limited historical intraday data
  2. The selected interval requires more bars than are available
  3. The current plan does not provide the desired replay depth

Try this first

  1. Confirm the exact symbol and exchange
  2. Try a higher chart interval
  3. Check the earliest available replay point
  4. Compare official plan access only if the remaining history is a recurring requirement

If that didn’t fix it

  1. Use another official symbol source with deeper history
  2. Backtest the idea on a higher interval
  3. Use Deep Backtesting when the goal is strategy testing rather than visual replay

Verify the fix

Bar Replay starts at an acceptable date for the intended symbol and interval, and the limitation is documented before testing conclusions are drawn.

Why this happens

Bar Replay depth depends on the symbol, interval and available historical data, and plan-related access can also matter. Try a higher interval before assuming an upgrade will expose the exact date you need.

The earliest replay point is not identical for every market. Confirm that the source has historical bars for the chosen interval, then compare current replay access if the date remains unavailable.
