The FX Replay Alternative
That Keeps Your Work

A backtest you cannot come back to is just practice.

FX Replay's free Beginner plan gives you 2 sessions and deletes your data after one week. FxBacktest's free plan replays all 105 markets on every timeframe, and what you save stays saved. When you outgrow it, Pro is €12 a month. Here is the full comparison, including where FX Replay is the better pick.

ONE WEEK, THEN IT IS GONE On FX Replay's free plan, data retention is one week. A 100-trade sample takes most traders longer than that to build — and the whole point is to look back at it. FX REPLAY FREE · 1 WEEKvsFXBACKTEST FREE · KEPT

FX Replay figures read from its pricing page on 27 October 2026; the plan cards show yearly billing as $15 and $29.16 a month, and its FAQ lists monthly billing at $17.99 and $35. FxBacktest prices are the base euro-zone prices; regional prices may be lower. Prices are per account and change over time.

WHY TRADERS SWITCH

What you get
on the other side.

The same replay loop — pick a market, step the candles, take the trade, read the stats — with these differences.

Nothing expires

No retention window on any plan. A session you saved in March is still there in December, so you can compare this quarter's sample with last quarter's.

EVERY PLAN
Spreads measured by hour

Each market carries a spread for every UTC hour, measured from real bid and ask data. The 21:00 rollover costs what it costs, instead of hiding behind one flat number. See the spread study.

EVERY PLAN
Real ticks, all 105 markets

On Ultra, stops and targets inside a candle are settled in the order the ticks printed. On gold, the stop came first in 67% of the candles where both were hit. Tick data.

ULTRA
FXScript and an AI assistant

Describe a strategy in plain English, the assistant writes it in FXScript, and the engine replays it over years of data and sweeps the inputs. See AI backtesting.

AI CREDITS: ULTRA OR PACKS
Prop challenge rules built in

Run a session under real challenge rules — profit target, daily and maximum drawdown, phases — and see whether your strategy would have passed. See the prop firm challenge simulator.

FREE: 1 + 1 · PRO: 10 + 10
Live journal with MT4/MT5 import

Backtests and live trades in one account. Drop your MetaTrader history and every trade opens on its chart automatically. See the trading journal.

THE TRADE-OFFS

Where FX Replay
is the better pick.

A comparison that only lists our wins is an advert. These are the cases where we would send you to FX Replay.

CHOOSE FX REPLAY IF

You test futures, or need history before 2009.

  • You trade futures. FX Replay Pro carries CME futures data. We do not carry futures and will not sell CFD data as if it were.
  • You need very old history. FX Replay lists major-pair history back to 2003. Ours starts in 2009 on gold and 2010 on the majors; most other markets start between 2013 and 2018.
  • You want many exotic pairs. FX Replay lists 120+ forex pairs. We carry 43.
  • You want more free trades per session. 50 on FX Replay's free plan against our 20 — as long as you finish within the week.
CHOOSE FXBACKTEST IF

You trade forex, gold or indices and want to keep your work.

  • You are building a sample over weeks. No retention timer on any plan, free included.
  • You care about costs. Spreads measured per hour, commission per lot, and real ticks on Ultra.
  • You want the middle tier cheaper. Pro at €12 a month covers 30 sessions of 600 trades each.
  • You want more than replay. Prop challenge rules, FXScript and AI strategies, a live journal and 86 indicators in one account.

FAQ

FX Replay alternative questions.

Short answers about plans, data and switching.

What is the best free alternative to FX Replay? +

For manual forex backtesting in the browser, FxBacktest: the free plan replays all 105 markets on every timeframe from M1 to monthly, saves 3 sessions with no retention timer, and gives the full session report. If you need futures or CME data, there is no free alternative that matches FX Replay on that.

Is FX Replay free? +

Partly. Its Beginner plan is free with no card, but it allows 2 sessions, 50 trades per session, 1 indicator and one week of data retention. Intermediate is $17.99 a month or $180 a year, and Pro is $35 a month or $350 a year, as listed on its pricing page on 27 October 2026.

How does FxBacktest pricing compare with FX Replay? +

FxBacktest Pro is €12 a month (€129 a year) with 30 saved sessions, 600 trades per session and multi-timeframe charts. Ultra is €39 a month (€389 a year) with everything unlimited, tick data on all 105 markets and seconds timeframes. FX Replay Intermediate is $17.99 and Pro $35 a month.

Does FxBacktest have futures like FX Replay? +

No. We carry CFD data for forex, metals, energy, indices, stocks, ETFs and crypto from Dukascopy, and we do not relabel it as futures. If you trade ES, NQ or other CME contracts, FX Replay Pro is the better tool for that part of your testing.

Where is the free plan more limited than FX Replay? +

Trades per session: our free plan allows 20 per session against FX Replay Beginner’s 50, and 1 indicator on both. What we add on free is 3 sessions instead of 2, every market and timeframe, and no deletion after a week.

Can I move my FX Replay trades to FxBacktest? +

There is no direct import from FX Replay. You can import live MT4 and MT5 account history into the trading journal, and start new backtest sessions in the replay. Most traders keep their old FX Replay results as a screenshot or export and rebuild the sample.
