Find out if the setup works before your account does.
Go back to any date. Everything after it is cut off the chart. Trade forward bar by bar with a real order ticket, write down why you took each trade before you know how it ends, and get the same reports a live account gets.
A real order ticket, not two buttons.
Practice is only practice if the mechanics match. So the order goes in the way it would at your broker — and fills the way it would.
- Market, limit and stop orders, with the price you choose.
- Size in lots, or let it size the trade from the money you want to risk.
- Stop and target by price, ticks or % of balance — or dragged on the chart.
- Trade value, margin and tick value shown before you send it.
Every session gets the full report.
A session is one idea under test: a symbol, a stretch of history, a starting balance and the playbooks you're trying. When it's done, it reads like a live account.
- Equity with drawdown, long against short, the R distribution and the trade sequence.
- Win rate by weekday, session, hour and holding time.
- A calendar of the session, and the full list of trades.
One good run proves nothing. A thousand reshuffles say more.
The session's trades are reshuffled a thousand times to show the range the same edge could have produced — the median result, the bad case, and how deep the drawdown could have gone.
- Share of runs that end in profit, and the 5% worst result.
- Median and 95% maximum drawdown, and the chance of losing half the account.
Practice that counts, kept apart from the account that pays.
About backtesting.
Is the backtest data real market data?
Yes. Real historical prices across forex, metals, indices, stocks, futures and crypto, on every timeframe from one minute to one week. How far back it goes depends on the market.
Do backtest trades mix with my live numbers?
No. Backtests live in their own practice account. Your live statistics stay clean, and the backtest still gets every report, chart and breakdown.
Can I see the future by accident?
No. Everything after the bar you're on is removed from the chart, not hidden behind it — zooming out or changing timeframe shows nothing that hasn't happened yet.
