FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about setup, plans and safety.

Which plan includes backtesting?

Backtesting is included from the Essential plan up (Essential and PRO).

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Start from a template (MA crossover, RSI reversal, Breakout, Bollinger bounce) or build your own rules with the builder. No code involved.

Which markets can I backtest?

Any market you have candles for: crypto from Binance (built in), forex and indices synced from your MT4/MT5, any CSV, or providers like OANDA, Alpaca, Polygon, Twelve Data, Tiingo and Alpha Vantage with your own API key.

Can I trade during a replay?

Yes. Buy or sell with a stop loss and take profit, move the stop to breakeven or close the trade. Position size comes from your risk percentage.

Can I see the future candles?

No, that's the point. In replay the chart only shows candles up to the current bar, so your decisions are honest.
