Yes, you can. Here is how to do it:
  • Login (sim or live.... I prefer sim whenever practical)
  • Open your chart
  • Setup your workspace and add your charts and wait for all data to download
  • Double-click the 'Sim' or 'Live' .... or .... go to File > Work Offline
  • Then you are offline and can backtest
This is what you see in the lower right corner of your status bar:


The red indicates you are offline.

Note: Anytime you change your chart settings, you will need to be online to refresh the data.

Click the Thanks button if this was helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions.
