TestingView Alternative:
No TradingView Plan Needed

An extension is only as good as the plan under it.

TestingView adds trade simulation and journaling on top of TradingView's replay. That makes your TradingView plan the real limit: on TradingView Basic, replay runs on daily charts and up. FxBacktest is a standalone platform with its own data, so one-minute replay, stats and a journal work without any other subscription.

TestingView vs FxBacktest,
line by line.

One is a browser extension that rides on TradingView; the other is a standalone platform. That one difference decides most of the rows below.

WHAT TESTINGVIEW IS MISSING

What TestingView
can't do on its own.

Because it sits on top of TradingView, TestingView inherits its limits and does not add these.

Intraday replay without a TradingView plan

TradingView Basic replays daily charts and up. One-minute replay needs Essential (180 days), Plus (365 days) or Premium. FxBacktest replays M1 on a free account.

ALL PLANS
Works on your phone

Browser extensions do not run in mobile Chrome or Safari. FxBacktest runs in any mobile browser, with a touch order ribbon.

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
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
News on the chart

Economic-calendar markers sit on the candles they moved, so you can see NFP or CPI coming and test whether your setup survives it. See the calendar.

ALL PLANS
Real tick data on 20 symbols

Replay inside the one-minute candle on gold, the majors, US100, US30, US500, GER40, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Apple, Nvidia and Tesla. See the tick data hub.

ULTRA
WHAT YOU KEEP

The parts of TestingView
you'd miss are here.

The simulation and journaling TestingView adds to TradingView exist in FxBacktest as well.

✓
Bar-by-bar replay

Future candles hidden; step forward one bar or auto-play.

✓
Long and short positions

Entry, stop and target on the chart, movable mid-replay.

✓
Sizing from session capital

Risk set from your account balance, not fixed lots.

✓
Win rate, PF, avg RR, expectancy

Plus drawdown and an equity curve.

✓
Notes and screenshots

A record of why you took each trade.

✓
Resume a session

Close the tab, come back later, carry on.

✓
Multiple charts

Multi-timeframe panes play together on Pro.

✓
TradingView-style layout

Switch to it if you prefer the TradingView look.

✓
Spreads and costs

Trades are filled with a spread, not at the mid price.

WHERE TESTINGVIEW IS AHEAD

Where TestingView
does more.

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

You keep your TradingView setup

Your indicators, Pine scripts, drawings and saved layouts stay exactly as they are. FxBacktest starts from a clean chart.

TradingView's symbol universe

Anything TradingView charts, TestingView can replay (within your plan). FxBacktest has 105 markets.

Slippage and partial fills

TestingView models slippage, partial fills and intrabar order handling. FxBacktest models spread and commission, with ticks on 20 symbols for intrabar order.

Cheap paid tiers and Excel export

Explorer is $7.99 a month and Trader $9.99, with journal export to Excel on Trader. FxBacktest Pro is €12 and keeps the journal in the app.

If you already pay for TradingView Plus or Premium and live inside your own layouts, an extension is the lighter move. If you are on TradingView Basic, trade from a phone, or want one bill instead of two, FxBacktest is the better fit.

PRICING

Two subscriptions
vs one.

The extension itself is cheap. The real cost is its plan plus whatever TradingView plan your replay needs.

The TradingView plan is the bigger number. Trader at $9.99 plus TradingView Essential at $14.95 comes to about $25 a month — and Essential only replays one-minute charts 180 days back.

FxBacktest is one account with its own data. The free account replays M1 to MN; Pro at €12 a month adds multi-timeframe replay.

SWITCHING

Four steps,
about a minute.

No extension, no TradingView plan. Open the app in any browser, phone included.

01
CREATE AN ACCOUNT

Email or Google, no card. Nothing to download and no broker to connect.

02
PICK MARKET & DATE

Pick from 105 markets and any timeframe from M1 — no other plan decides what you can replay.

03
REPLAY & TRADE

Step a bar at a time or auto-play. Drag the stop and target on the chart; lot size follows your risk percent.

04
READ THE REPORT

Win rate, expectancy, profit factor, Sharpe and drawdown, saved to your journal so the sample keeps growing.

FAQ

TestingView alternative questions.

Short answers. Every TestingView figure was read from their own pages on 20 October 2026.

Does TestingView work on a phone? +

No. It is a browser extension, and mobile Chrome and Safari do not run extensions; its desktop build needs TradingView Desktop installed. FxBacktest runs in any mobile browser, phone included.

Does TestingView work with a free TradingView account? +

It installs and runs, but it cannot unlock replay your TradingView plan does not include. TradingView Basic replays daily charts and up; intraday replay needs Essential or higher.

How much does TestingView cost? +

Starter is free (20 trades per session), Explorer is $7.99 a month with a 7-day trial, and Trader is $9.99 a month with a 14-day trial. Add the cost of a paid TradingView plan if you want intraday replay.

What is an TestingView alternative that works on its own? +

FxBacktest is a standalone backtesting platform with its own market data. A free account replays 105 markets from M1 to monthly, with stops, risk-based sizing and a full report.

Can I use my TradingView indicators in FxBacktest? +

Not directly; Pine scripts do not import. FxBacktest has 40+ built-in indicators, a TradingView-style layout, and an AI assistant that writes custom indicators and strategies in FXScript.
