Mastering the Replay Mode for Backtesting

Last updated: April 1, 2026

Setting Up a Perfect Practice Session
Replay Mode is your most powerful tool for building muscle memory. To get the most out of it, follow this workflow:
  1. Open the Simulator and select Replay Mode.
  2. Use the Calendar icon to pick a date from 3-6 months ago to ensure you don't remember the price action.
  3. Set your starting balance to match your real live account size to make the psychological impact feel real.
The "Bar-by-Bar" Method
Instead of letting the chart play at high speed, use the Forward One Bar button. Before clicking it, ask yourself: "Based on my strategy, is there a setup here? Why or why not?" This forced deliberation is what builds a professional eye.
💡 Use the keyboard shortcut (Right Arrow) to advance bars quickly while keeping your eyes fixed on the price action.
