Why Backtesting Matters
The Trade Licks Simulator allows you to test strategies and build screen time using high-resolution historical data without risking live capital. To access it, click the "Simulator" icon in the Platform Navigator or your pinned header.
The Three Modes Explained
- Sandbox Mode: A stress-free environment. You set your starting balance and trade freely without any strict drawdown rules or daily loss limits. Perfect for raw strategy building.
- Prop Firm Mode: Simulates the strict rules of modern proprietary trading firms. You will define a Profit Target, a Max Trailing Drawdown, and an optional Daily Loss Limit. If you breach the drawdown, the account is blown!
- Replay Mode: Designed for focused practice. This mode allows you to load up specific dates and times to practice executing under specific historical conditions.
💡 Don't forget to use the "Jump to Date" calendar icon in the replay bar to instantly teleport to the exact day you want to test!
