Forex backtesting software that replays real market history

What forex backtesting is, and why replay beats a spreadsheet

Backtesting is testing a trading strategy on historical prices before you risk money on it. The quick way is to scroll back on a chart and mark where your rules would have entered. The problem is that you can already see what happened next, so you remember the winners and quietly skip the setups that failed.

Replay fixes that. The chart loads at a moment in the past with everything after it hidden, and you move the clock forward yourself. You make each decision with only the information a trader had on that day, then find out if you were right.

How backtesting works in TradifyFX

1. Pick a market and a moment. Choose from 123 markets and any date back to 2005 on the major currency pairs.

2. Move through time. Step one candle at a time, watch candles form tick by tick, or play at up to 16x. Jump to a date or rewind whenever you like.

3. Trade it. Place market, limit and stop orders with a stop and target, sized by lots or by the percentage of your balance you are willing to risk.

4. Read the result. Every trade is journalled automatically, and the dashboard, analytics, P/L calendar and reports show what worked and what cost you.

What’s included

Backtesting mistakes the software prevents

• Looking ahead. You cannot see a candle until it has closed at your replay time, on any chart or timeframe.

• Forgetting costs. The spread is charged on every trade, so a strategy that only works without costs shows up as losing.

• Deciding from too few trades. Replaying at speed lets you reach a meaningful sample quickly. How many sessions a strategy needs.

• Bending your own rules. Challenge mode enforces daily loss and drawdown limits, and the journal records every decision you make.
