Your first session, step by step.

From creating your account to your first verdict. All you need is a browser.

  1. Create your account

    Click Get started, then enter an email address and a password. It's free during the beta, and no credit card is required.

  2. Open “New backtest”

    The New backtest button is on the app's home screen. It opens the session setup window.

  3. Pick your market and your mode

    Select an instrument, a Start date and, if you like, an End date and a Session name.

    Under Session mode, take Data collect for a first time: you trade freely and tag each trade. Then click Start the session.

  4. Move through the market

    The chart stops at your start date. The replay bar moves it forward: play, pause, and speed from 0.5x to 10x.

    Shift+→ moves forward one candle, Shift+← goes back. The Go to button jumps to the London or New York open, or to a date. Go back to a candle (B) lets you click a candle you've already played; Back to where I was brings you back.

  5. Place your first trade

    Enter your size in lots, then click BUY or SELL. The stop and the target appear on the chart: drag them with the mouse.

    In Data collect, choose at least one tag describing what you saw, then Open the trade. Without a tag, the trade doesn't go through.

  6. Let the trade run

    Keep moving forward. The trade closes on its own if price hits your stop or your target. To close it earlier, click the ✕ on its label, at the end of the entry line (it also shows your unrealized P&L): pick the share to close, from 25 to 100 % or your own in % or in lots, then Confirm.

    Edit changes the tags, the note and the partial exits of an open trade.

  7. Read the verdict

    When you leave the chart, you find the session sheet: P&L, profit factor, win rate, drawdown.

    The session gets its own score from 8 trades. Your overall Score waits for 20 trades.

Good to know
  • The spread is paid on every entry: your trade starts slightly negative, as in real trading.
  • To pick a session up later: Resume on the home screen, then Continue the backtest.
  • Forex and metals don't trade at the weekend: the replay jumps from Friday evening to Sunday evening.

The simplest thing is to try it.
