GoCharting Alternative:
Built for Backtesting, Not Just Charts

A great charting platform. A capped replay.

GoCharting is an order-flow and multi-asset charting platform with bar replay on the side — capped at 9,000 intraday bars on the free plan and 15,000 on Premium. FxBacktest is built only for backtesting: no bar cap, a saved report for every session, risk-based sizing, prop challenge rules and strategy scripting.

WHAT GOCHARTING IS MISSING

What GoCharting
doesn't do for backtesting.

GoCharting's replay is a chart feature. The backtesting layer around it — reports, sizing, sessions — is what FxBacktest is built for.

Replay without a bar cap

Replay a whole year of M5 or months of M1 in one session. GoCharting stops at 9,000 bars (15,000 on Premium).

ALL PLANS
A report for every session

Win rate, expectancy, profit factor, Sharpe and drawdown, worked out from the trades you took in the replay and saved with the session.

ALL PLANS
Lot size from your risk

Set 1% risk, drag the stop, and the position size follows — so results compare across markets.

ALL PLANS
Prop challenge mode

One to three phases, profit targets, and daily and maximum drawdown checked against live equity — the way a funded-account challenge actually fails you.

ALL PLANS
60+ report metrics

Beyond win rate and drawdown: an RR optimization slider, wins by hour and weekday, MFE percentiles (how far trades ran), trade-tag analysis and stress tests that drop trades or skip news.

PRO / ULTRA
Strategy scripting with an AI assistant

Describe a rule in plain English and the built-in Claude assistant writes it in FXScript, then runs it over years of bars in seconds — with an optimizer for the inputs. See AI backtesting.

ALL PLANS
WHAT YOU KEEP

WHERE GOCHARTING IS AHEAD

Where GoCharting
does more.

An alternative page that hides the other side is an ad. These are the things GoCharting does that FxBacktest does not.

Order flow tools

Footprint charts, DOM, Market Profile and cumulative volume delta. FxBacktest has none of these.

Real-time data and live trading

Real-time NASDAQ, NYSE and CME data on Premium and trading through 15+ connected brokers. FxBacktest is historical replay only.

100K+ symbols

Including CME futures, Indian NSE and MCX, and options tools with GEX. FxBacktest has 105 markets and no futures or options.

Native mobile apps

iOS and Android apps with over a million downloads. FxBacktest runs in the mobile browser.

If you need order flow or live trading, keep GoCharting for that — it is a different job. If your goal is to backtest a strategy and get a real statistical result, FxBacktest is built for it.

9,000 bars sounds like a lot until you scalp. A 24-hour market prints 1,440 one-minute bars a day, so 9,000 covers about six days and 15,000 about ten. On H1 the same caps reach well over a year.

Price for price, FxBacktest Pro (€12 a month, €129 a year) costs less than GoCharting Premium ($20 a month, $201.60 a year) and has no bar cap. What Premium buys instead is order flow and real-time data — tools for a different job.
