| An experienced trader | Test and refine a strategy before trading it live |

Think of it as a flight simulator for trading: repeat market conditions as often as you like and learn faster than waiting for setups in the live market.
What you can do
- Replay the market: pick any date and play price forward one candle at a time or at your own speed, without seeing what comes next.
- Backtest your strategy: create a session, choose your assets and dates, and place simulated trades with stop losses and take profits.
- Review your results: every trade is saved to your Backtesting Journal, with notes, tags and screenshots. Analytics show your win rate, drawdown and more.
- Track your live trading: the Live Journal imports trades from your connected trading account, so you can review them in one place.
- Mentor: an AI assistant that helps you learn FX Replay and answers your questions. Open it from the icon in the bottom-right corner of the app.
- Prop Firm Simulator: practise under the rules of a prop firm challenge.
- Battles: compete with other traders in timed trading challenges.
- Indicators and FXR Script: use built-in indicators or build your own.
- Economic Calendar: see major news events on your chart.

What FX Replay is not

- Not a signal service. It doesn't tell you which trades to take.
