Backtesting builds strategy confidence
Manual forex backtesting on real historical price action — bar by bar. Execute trades in a true-to-life forex backtester, track performance, and refine your edge before risking a single dollar.
Confidence comes from evidence
Most traders blow an account learning what a weekend of backtesting would have told them for free. Replay real historical price action, take the trades you would have taken, and see your true win rate, drawdown and expectancy — while the only thing at stake is your time.
Every tool, nothing to install
Bar-by-bar replay across 25 markets, a full indicator suite, synced multi-timeframe panes, trade journaling with tags and notes, and an Edge Lab that turns your saved sessions into expectancy, profit factor and drawdown analytics.
Genuinely free — not a 7-day trial
No trial timer, no credit card, no install. Backtest 25 markets bar by bar on real historical data, keep your saved sessions and your stats, and upgrade only if and when you outgrow the free plan.
Set the firm's exact rules and run the whole evaluation on real market history — a live tracker follows your phase, drawdown and target bar by bar, then a result screen tells you if you passed. All before you spend a cent on a real challenge.
Every phase cleared inside the drawdown, daily-loss and time-limit rules — the same live tracker and result screen you get inside the app.
Moving averages, bands, oscillators, ICT concepts and a full volume & liquidity suite — every one of them drawn bar by bar as the replay steps forward, not painted onto a finished chart.
Add the MondeTrend confluence indicator to a replay, test its signals across the loaded market history, or let FxBacktest compare a defined range of settings for you.
Run the indicator through the current dataset with your selected risk, stop loss, and target RR.
Compare a bounded set of parameter combinations and load the strongest historical result from that search.
Past results do not prove future results.
Manual forex backtesting on real historical candles — place trades, manage risk, and see how your edge actually performs without an install or a broker account.
Indicators, drawings, and price action — everything you need to train like a professional trader.
Set your account balance, lot size, leverage and risk percentage. Configure spread and commission costs that match your real broker.
Choose from 25 instruments across Forex, Commodities, Indices, Crypto and Stocks. Pick your timeframe — M1 through D1.
Advance the chart bar by bar or use Auto Play. Enter BUY/SELL at any point. The chart never reveals what's next until you advance.
End the session to see your full P&L, win rate, average RR, and cost analysis. Download a report card as PNG to track your progress.
Built in-browser — no install, no plugin, no latency. Pure chart replay with the precision tools that matter.
Train across the most-traded markets in the world. Each instrument includes pip values, contract sizes, and tick precision tuned to match live broker feeds.
Every published strategy comes from an actual backtesting session — win rate, drawdown, and net return pulled straight from the report, not typed in by hand.
The difference between consistent traders and struggling ones isn't strategy — it's screen time. Backtesting gives you years of experience in weeks.

Quick answers to what most traders ask before they start backtesting.
Forex backtesting is replaying historical price data and placing trades as if you were trading live, so you can measure how a strategy would have performed without risking real money. A good backtester gives you bar-by-bar replay, realistic spreads and commissions, and stats like win rate, drawdown, and expectancy across the sample.
Yes. The Free plan never expires — all 25 instruments, all seven timeframes, full trade execution, the full session report, and three saved sessions in your journal. No credit card required. Pro and Ultra unlock more indicators, deeper analytics, and a larger journal, but the core backtesting loop is free forever.
No. FxBacktest runs entirely in your browser — no download, no plugin, no MetaTrader, no broker account. Historical data is bundled with the app, so you can open a chart and start placing trades within seconds of registering.
A small test of 20 trades can reveal obvious execution problems, but a serious review normally needs 100 or more trades across different market conditions. More important than the exact number is that the sample includes wins, losses, slow periods, news volatility, and at least one uncomfortable drawdown.
Manual backtesting is better for discretionary decisions, price action reading, and building screen time. Automated backtesting is better for strict rule sets that a computer can execute without interpretation. Many traders use both — manual testing to understand the setup, then automation to check it at scale.
No. A backtest shows how a plan behaved on historical data. Live results still depend on spreads, slippage, psychology, execution speed, broker conditions, and whether the market regime changes. A solid backtest builds confidence and discipline, but it is a starting line, not a finish line.
Every replayed bar is a rep. The features exist so the reps add up to something you can actually trade with.
Register in seconds. No credit card. No download. Just open a chart and start building real experience from the very first bar.
