- Open the simulator and pick AUD/USD from the instrument list - or NZD/USD, AUD/JPY, AUD/NZD and the rest of the 105.
- Choose a start date and timeframe. The chart hides everything after it, so you read the same bars a trader had at the time rather than a chart you already know the answer to.
- Replay bar by bar and place trades with the mouse. Drag the stop and target on the chart and the lot size follows from your risk percent.
- Read the report. Win rate, expectancy, profit factor, Sharpe and drawdown across the session, saved to your trading journal so the sample accumulates.

The data
Sixteen years of the Aussie, already loaded.

Measured
The Aussie wakes up in Asia. EUR/USD does not.
Median hourly range by session for AUD/USD and EUR/USD, and each session as a share of that pair's own busiest hour, January 2021 to September 2026.
| Session (UTC) | AUD/USD: range · share of peak hour | EUR/USD: range · share of peak hour |
|---|---|---|
| Sydney/Tokyo open, 22:00-02:00 | 9.7 pips · 55% | 7.7 pips · 37% |
| Tokyo, 02:00-06:00 | 9.5 pips · 54% | 7.3 pips · 35% |
| London open, 07:00-09:00 | 12.7 pips · 73% | 16.1 pips · 78% |
| London/New York overlap, 12:00-16:00 | 15.4 pips · 88% | 18.9 pips · 92% |

35,763 AUD/USD and 35,764 EUR/USD hourly bars, 2021-01-03 to 2026-09-25, FxBacktest archive. UTC throughout.
Measured against its own busiest hour, AUD/USD is half awake through the Asian session - 55% of peak activity at the Sydney and Tokyo open, against 37% for EUR/USD. Australian data and Chinese releases land in those hours, and the pair reacts to them. A system built on EUR/USD that sits out Asia is skipping a quiet session; the same system on the Aussie is skipping a real one.
In absolute terms the Aussie is a narrow pair: the median day covers 67.6 pips over the archive and 50.8 so far in 2026, against 78.8 and 54.3 on EUR/USD. Stops and targets copied from EUR/USD will be too wide here - size them from AUD/USD's own range.

Original research
The Asian range, measured
Does breaking the overnight range lead anywhere? Tested across pairs - the natural baseline for an Aussie session idea.
Read the study GuideCorrelated pairs double your risk
AUD/USD and NZD/USD often move together. Two trades on correlated pairs are closer to one bigger trade than to two separate ones.
Read the guide GuideEnough trades per regime
Split the sample by year before you trust the total. Each regime needs enough trades on its own to mean something, or the headline win rate is mostly one good year.

Questions
AUD/USD backtesting FAQ
Is AUD/USD backtesting really free here?
Yes. AUD/USD and all 105 instruments are unlocked on the free plan, with every timeframe, full trade execution and the session report. Nothing to download, no card. Paid plans add more saved sessions, more simultaneous indicators and deeper analytics - not the AUD/USD chart or its history.
How much AUD/USD history can I replay?
Daily and 4-hour bars from June 2010 and hourly from July 2010. 30-minute data starts in July 2018, 15-minute in July 2022, 5-minute in April 2025 and 1-minute in April 2026.
When is AUD/USD most active?
Like every major, it peaks in the London-New York overlap, 12:00-16:00 UTC. Unlike EUR/USD, it also stays at about half of that activity through the Sydney and Tokyo sessions.
Can I backtest other Aussie pairs?
Yes. AUD/JPY, AUD/NZD, AUD/CAD, AUD/CHF, EUR/AUD and GBP/AUD are on the same free plan with the same replay engine and report - all listed on the backtest hub.
