Built for serious manual backtesting

Years of real market data

Five-plus years of genuine price history for the major pairs, gold and silver — from 1-minute up to monthly charts, plus TradingView-style custom timeframes.

Realistic execution engine

Spreads and per-lot commissions are simulated, and stop-loss / take-profit fills respect gaps instead of pretending you got the perfect price.

Risk-based lot sizing

Type the percent of the account you want to risk and the simulator computes the lot size from your stop distance — the same discipline you need on a live account.

Full charting toolkit

62+ indicators, 26 drawing tools, session boxes and multi-timeframe analysis, so you can backtest SMC, ICT and classic price-action strategies properly.

Journal, stats and challenge mode

Every simulated trade lands in a built-in journal with win rate, R-multiples and drawdown stats — and you can run FTMO-style prop-firm challenge rules on top.
