Replay Mode

Step Through
History Bar by Bar

Replay Mode loads a TradingView chart starting from any point in history and reveals candles forward in time — one at a time, or continuously at your chosen speed.

What You Can Do With It

Replay Mode is intentionally open-ended. Here are the most common ways traders use it.

Study price action

Slow down a fast market and step through candles one by one to understand how structures form — order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity sweeps — without the pressure of live conditions.

Review a strategy's decisions

After a backtest, replay the same period bar by bar to understand why your strategy entered or didn't enter at specific points. Visually trace what the conditions looked like at the time.

Practice without risk

Treat replay as a simulator. Make manual trade decisions as candles unfold, then see how those decisions would have resolved. No capital at risk.

Study specific market events

Jump to any date on any symbol. Want to study how EURUSD moved during a specific period? Load the symbol, set the start date, and replay it forward.

What replay mode is not

  • It does not execute real trades or connect to a broker.
  • It does not simulate partial fills, slippage, or bid/ask spread — it shows OHLCV candles only.
  • Replay uses the same historical data as backtesting, bounded by your plan's history limit.
