Market Replay

Every situation is a real stretch of market history: 180 daily candles (about half a year) or 240 four-hour candles (about 40 days). The date and the price are hidden; you see only the shape of the chart, in percent from the last close.

“+1 candle” shows one more candle before you decide, up to 4 times per trade (counter 0/4). Your entry then moves to the last candle shown: confirmation costs you entry price, just as in real trading.

The switch above the decision shows the same stretch on a lower timeframe: a daily scenario in 4-hour candles, a 4-hour one in hourly candles. The chart ends exactly at the moment of decision, so nothing from the future is visible. The trade, its time limit and “+1 candle” always count in the scenario's candles: on the lower chart “+1 candle” reveals all candles of that step (6 or 4). Your lines and drawings carry over between charts.

If a major unscheduled event hit during the trade (an emergency Fed decision, an exchange collapse, a hack), the trade is marked “⚡ Force majeure” and the event is shown as a yellow line on the chart. The dollars count as they are, but it is left out of “Skill or luck?”.

Decision: long, short or stay out. For a trade, drag the green line (take-profit) and the red line (stop-loss) on the chart. You enter at the last price. The trade closes on the first candle that touches a level, or at the end of the stretch: after 30 days on daily candles, after 5 days on 4-hour ones.

You have a practice account of $10,000 in virtual dollars. A trade is opened as at a broker: you choose the entry — 1, 2, 3 or 5% of the deposit — and leverage ×10 turns it into the position (1% = $100 × 10 = $1,000). The stop and the take-profit are price moves: a 3% stop on $1,000 = −$30, a 6% take-profit = +$60. The stop goes no further than 10%: beyond that, the leverage would take the whole margin. The result is also shown in R, units of the stop: stop = −1R, take-profit at 1:2 = +2R, staying out = 0. So you can be right on only 2 trades out of 5 and still be up.

Your decision is locked on the server; only then do you see the date, the prices and the real candles. XP is for discipline, not profit: 20 XP for a round with trades in which no stop could cost more than 2% of the account (first 3 rounds a day). The money here is only virtual: it cannot be topped up, withdrawn or bought.

Chart tools: trend line, ray, horizontal level (one click), rectangle and Fibonacci levels (from the start of a move to its end). MA 20, MA 50 and RSI are remembered between trades. “Full screen” hides the site menu; Esc to leave. How to use them — the lesson “Levels and Fibonacci on the chart”.
