How to use backtest and replay

Open Backtest & Replay in the sidebar and pick a symbol and timeframe (1 minute to 1 day) from the chart toolbar. What the replay includes is on the chart replay backtesting page.

Play the market

• Space plays and pauses; ← / → step one bar.
• Speeds from 0.25× to 10×. Drag the scrubber to move through time.
• Right-click the chart and choose Start replay from here to begin at any point.

Place orders

• ⇧B / ⇧S buy or sell at market.
• Right-click the chart for buy and sell limit or stop orders at that price, or to draw a long or short position.
• The order ticket sizes by lots or by risk %. Risk-based sizing needs a stop, and lots are rounded down to 0.01.

Open, pending and closed trades — and your stats — are in the tabs below the chart.

Sessions

Each session starts with a 10,000 balance by default and is saved to your account, so it syncs to your other devices. In Sessions you can switch between sessions, rename them or delete them; New session keeps the current one and starts a new one with the same settings. Sessions on sample data stay on the device you used.

If real history is not available, the chart uses generated candles and shows a Sample data tag; click the tag to try real data again.

Replay a trade from your journal

In Trading History, press R (or the play icon) on a trade to replay it.
