Market Replay

Missed the Market?
Replay It When You Have Time (24/7).

You do not have to be available during market hours to practice trading.

Choose an available historical market session and experience it as it unfolds. Watch the market move progressively, apply indicators, place simulated trades, manage positions and review your decisions—without knowing what happens next.

Practice after work, in the evening or over the weekend.

Trading Practice That Fits Your Schedule

The Market Is Open When Many People Are Busy

You may be at work.

You may be in meetings.

You may be travelling, studying or handling other responsibilities.

By the time you are free, the trading session is already over.

Market Replay lets you practice when your schedule allows.

Choose an available historical trading day, start the session and experience the market without seeing future price movements.

You are no longer dependent on market hours to practice your trading decisions.

Remove the Advantage of Hindsight

Completed Charts Make Every Decision Look Easier

Looking at an old completed chart can be misleading.

Once you can see the entire day's movement, breakouts appear obvious. Reversals are easy to identify. Entries and exits seem much clearer than they actually were at that moment.

But real trading does not work that way.

You never know what the next candle will do.

Market Replay hides the future and reveals the session progressively.

You have to decide:

  • Is this actually a valid setup?
  • Should I enter now or wait?
  • Where should my stop-loss be?
  • Is the risk worth taking?
  • Should I continue holding?
  • Should I exit?
  • Or should I simply avoid the trade?

That is where meaningful practice begins.

The Complete Trading Experience

The Complete Trading Experience—On Your Time

Market Replay includes all trading features available in the Trading Simulator, with one important addition:

You control the historical market session.

You choose the date and control how the market progresses.

This means you can analyze, trade and manage positions just as you would in the Trading Simulator, but without needing to be available while the simulator session is running.

Inside a Market Replay Session

Everything You Need to Practice a Complete Trading Session

Virtual Trading Capital

Place simulated trades using virtual capital without putting real money at risk.

Stocks, Indices, Futures & Options and Commodities

Practice with supported market instruments based on available historical data.

Professional Charts

Use charts, indicators and drawing tools while the historical market unfolds.

Order Placement

Place supported market, limit, stop and stop-limit orders. Available order types may depend on the selected instrument and product flow.

  • Market orders
  • Limit orders
  • Stop-limit orders
Position Management

Monitor open positions and manage simulated trades as the market progresses.

Targets & Stop-Losses

Set profit targets and stop-losses according to your trading plan.

Trailing Stop-Loss

Where supported, use trailing stop-loss rules to practice active trade management.

Running Profit & Loss

Monitor simulated P&L while positions remain open.

Manual Exit

Close an open position whenever your trading decision requires it.

Trade History

Review the trades taken during the replay session.

Session Review

Study your entries, exits, decisions and performance after the session is complete.

Control the Market Clock

Practice at the Speed That Works for You

A historical trading session does not have to take the entire trading day to replay.

Market Replay gives you control over the session.

Play

Let the historical market unfold progressively.

Pause

Stop the session whenever you want more time to analyze a chart or open position.

Resume

Continue from exactly where you paused.

Increase Speed

Move quickly through periods where nothing relevant is happening.

Slow It Down

Reduce the speed when a setup begins developing.

Candle-by-Candle Progression

Where supported, move forward one candle at a time when you want to study a market situation more carefully.

The objective is not to rush through the session.

It is to spend your practice time where it matters.

Professional Charting During Replay

Analyze Before You Trade

Market Replay is not simply a historical video of the market.

You are actively analysing the session while it develops.

Use professional charting tools to:

  • Apply technical indicators
  • Draw support and resistance
  • Mark trendlines
  • Study price action
  • Compare timeframes
  • Monitor multiple instruments
  • Review volume and momentum
  • Save relevant chart preferences

The chart evolves with the historical session, while future price movement remains hidden.

Multi-Chart Market Replay

Watch the Market the Way You Actually Trade It

Many trading decisions depend on more than one chart.

An options trader may want to monitor:

  • The underlying index
  • Index futures
  • A call option
  • A put option

A stock trader may want to compare:

  • The stock
  • Its sector
  • The broader index
  • Multiple timeframes

Market Replay lets you organise multiple charts within the same historical session so that related market movements remain synchronised.

Historical Options Trading

Practice the Call/Put Options, Not Just the Underlying Chart

Looking at an index chart alone does not tell you exactly how the option you would have traded behaved.

Where historical options data is available, Market Replay allows you to practice using recorded historical option prices, strikes and expiries.

This can help you study:

  • Strike selection
  • ATM, ITM and OTM behaviour
  • Premium movement
  • Entry timing
  • Stop-loss behaviour
  • Target movement
  • Option response to changes in the underlying

Historical options data may not be available for every strike, expiry, contract or date.

Market Replay Helps You Test Yourself

Can You Recognise and Execute the Setup While the Market Is Unfolding?

A strategy can look excellent when the complete chart is already visible.

The harder question is:

Can you actually recognise and execute the setup while the market is unfolding?

Market Replay can reveal behaviours that are difficult to notice when studying completed charts.

You may discover that you:

  • Enter too early
  • Hesitate after the setup appears
  • Chase a trade after missing the original entry
  • Exit profitable trades too quickly
  • Hold losing trades too long
  • Widen the stop-loss after entering
  • Increase quantity after a loss
  • Take too many trades
  • Ignore your original trading rules
  • Force trades when no valid setup exists

These observations can be more useful than the final simulated profit or loss.

Not Taking a Trade Is Also Practice

Every Replay Session Does Not Need a Trade

One of the easiest habits to develop in a simulator is feeling that you must trade simply because the market is moving.

Real discipline sometimes means doing nothing.

If your setup does not appear, finishing a Market Replay session without placing a trade can still be valuable practice.

  • You are practicing patience.
  • You are practising selectivity.
  • And you are practising following your own rules.
Market Replay vs Backtesting

Two Different Ways to Learn From Historical Data

Market Replay and Backtesting both use historical market data, but they answer different questions.

Market Replay

How would I have traded this session?

You manually analyze the market as it unfolds.

You decide:

  • Whether to enter
  • When to enter
  • Position size
  • Stop-loss
  • Target
  • Position management
  • When to exit
  • Whether to avoid the trade entirely

Future market movement remains hidden.

Market Replay helps you test yourself.

Backtesting Lab

How has this strategy performed historically?

You define or select:

  • A strategy
  • Pattern
  • Entry rules
  • Exit rules
  • Target
  • Stop-loss
  • Other supported conditions

The Backtesting Lab then evaluates the setup across multiple historical opportunities and provides performance statistics.

Backtesting helps you test the strategy.

Chart Replay vs Market Replay

Studying the Chart Is Different From Trading the Session

Chart Replay

Chart Replay helps you study how historical price action developed.

You progressively reveal candles and observe the chart.

Market Replay

Market Replay adds the complete simulated trading experience.

You can:

  • Analyze the chart
  • Place orders
  • Enter positions
  • Set targets and stop-losses
  • Manage open trades
  • Monitor simulated P&L
  • Exit positions
  • Review the session afterward

Chart Replay helps you study the market.

Market Replay helps you practice your response to it.

How Market Replay Works

Start Practising in a Few Simple Steps

1
Choose a Historical Session

Select an available historical date and the instrument you want to practice.

2
Set Up Your Workspace

Open the charts you need, apply indicators and prepare your analysis.

3
Start the Replay

Let the historical market begin unfolding without seeing future price movement.

4
Analyze and Trade

Wait for your setup, place simulated orders and manage the position according to your trading plan.

5
Review the Session

When the replay is complete, study your trades, decisions and behaviour. Then decide what you want to improve in the next session.

What Should You Review After a Session?

Look Beyond the Final P&L

A profitable replay session does not automatically mean you traded well.

A losing session does not automatically mean every decision was wrong.

After each session, ask:

  • Did I follow my original setup?
  • Did I wait for confirmation?
  • Was my entry logical?
  • Was the stop-loss placed according to the setup?
  • Did I change the stop-loss after entering?
  • Was my target realistic?
  • Did I exit too early?
  • Did I hold a losing trade too long?
  • Did I take unnecessary trades?
  • Did I increase risk after a loss?
  • Did I follow my position-sizing rules?
  • Did I trade differently because of a previous result?

The objective is to understand your process, not simply the result.
