Check out the new article: Market Replay: Unity Is Strength (I).

We're entering the home stretch. The development of the replay/simulation system is nearly complete. Of course, we still have a few things left to finish, but compared to everything we've already done, completing what's left won't be difficult. However, it is essential to fully absorb and understand everything covered in this article. So I hope you enjoy reading this and, above all, that you enjoy this final stage of the journey.

In the previous article “Market Replay: Position View (XX)”, I showed how to modify the position indicator to create a shadow at the level where the price was located. However, this implementation has a minor drawback. The problem occurs when, while moving the take profit or stop loss, you decide to change the display mode of the trade result, for example, from a monetary value to a percentage. Although some traders might want to do this while dragging it, that option is not available. First, you need to finish dragging it and only then change the data display mode. After that, you will need to start dragging it again so that the information is displayed correctly.

Although it would be fairly easy to solve this problem, I personally don’t think it’s necessary either to solve it or to show how it could be solved. I think those who are following this series are already eagerly awaiting the completion of this system. For this reason, in this article we decided to move directly to the stage where we integrate the four applications into the replay/simulation system, since they are already sufficiently developed for use in the replay/simulation system.

It is clear that the pending-orders system has yet to be developed. However, since this system makes extensive use of the position indicator and requires only a few changes to it, we will create the pending-orders system directly within the replay/simulation system.

Having made this decision, in this article we will make the corresponding changes to begin using the position indicator in the replay/simulation system, at least in its most basic form. So, let's get down to business and start making some changes.
