Backtesting

Place simulated orders and control replay

Use the replay controls, order ticket, and branch action while reviewing historical candles.

The workspace exposes replay controls, a chart, an order ticket, and expandable Executions, Trades, Analytics, and Event history panels.

Control the replay

  • Use Play replay to advance automatically and Advance one candle to step.
  • Change replay speed or chart timeframe with the selectors in the toolbar.
  • Drag the replay cursor to inspect candles already reached; the chart does not reveal future candles.
  • Use the rewind/branch control to create a child session from an earlier point.

Submit an order

Choose Buy or Sell, select market, limit, stop, or stop-limit order type, enter quantity and any required prices, then submit. Optional stop-loss and take-profit bracket prices can be attached. Orders submitted at the current cursor become eligible on the next execution candle. Review fills in Executions and closed positions in Trades.

Order matching follows deterministic candle rules, not tick-by-tick market data. See results and assumptions.
