Market Replay is one of the most powerful tools for skill development. Use it to practice entries, test strategies, and build pattern recognition without risking capital.
Launch Market Replay #
- Choose historical periods with notable volatility or clear patterns.
- Focus on market conditions similar to what you trade live.
Simulate Realistically #
- Use only the tools and logic allowed in your live strategy—avoid hindsight bias.
- Place simulated orders, set stops and targets as you would live.
- Don’t peek ahead at future price action.
Log Simulated Results #
- Record trades in a separate Journal section or use tags (e.g., “Replay Practice”).
- Compare planned outcomes vs. actual moves.
- Note psychological responses (hesitation, overconfidence, fear).
Review and Adjust #
- At session end, analyze mistakes and successes.
- Update notes and strategy elements as needed.
- Focus on one improvement area at a time.
Pro tip: This process builds skill and pattern recognition at an accelerated pace—10 hours of replay practice can equal weeks of live trading experience.
