Starting a replay

Starting a replay

  • Select a bar: click the candle to start from.
  • Date and time: type exactly when to start.
  • 1 day, 1 week, 1 month ago: one-click starts.
  • Random: a surprise start, so you cannot cheat.
  • History: 15-minute charts go back to 2018; bigger ones further.

Golden rules

  • Hide the future: decide first, then step forward.
  • Practise the same set-up many times before using real money.
  • Count every trade, losers too, to see your real win rate.
  • Practice is not live trading: real fills, spreads and feelings differ.
🎯 Try this: press Random and practise 20 trades on one set-up, then compare your win rate with your live trades.
