What is a backtest?
Pick a date in the past. Hide the future. Trade candle by candle as if it were live — then see what would have happened.
Try it on the chart above ↑opens the real app · real market history · no signup to start
BTC last Tuesday? ETH on a quiet Sunday? Search a pair, jump to a date.
The future stays hidden. Press play, step forward, place a simulated BUY or SELL when you're ready.
Your P&L, win rate and every trade in your journal. Then do it again, better.
Pick a date in the past. Hide the future. Trade candle by candle as if it were live — then see what would have happened.
Try it on the chart above ↑A first trade is usually a guess: no plan, no stop, no feel for what a normal move looks like. Replaying the past shows you hundreds of situations before a dollar is at stake.
Replay your first day →You can't control the price. You can control how much is on the line when you're wrong. Size each trade as a small slice of $10,000, set a stop, and see how long the account lasts.
Try it with practice money →Open, high, low, close. Green closed higher than it opened, red closed lower. The wicks show where price tried to go and could not stay.

Bar replay is the market restarted from any date, stepped candle by candle. Speed control from 1x to 50x. Decide without seeing the future — with real trading psychology.
Paper trading is market and limit orders, starting from $10,000 — a realistic first account, not a fantasy $100K. Every trade's win rate, PnL and R:R is logged to your journal automatically. No more spreadsheets.
Shared backtest rooms are a friend or mentor in your room — same chart, same replay, together in real time. No other crypto backtesting tool has this.
History here is 16 timeframes from 5m to 1M, every one back to January 2020 — daily candles cannot test an intraday strategy.
Browser backtesting is Python-free, download-free, setup-free. Open, pick a pair, jump to a date, test. Your first backtest is 30 seconds away.
Your trades and strategies are yours: never shared, sold or trained on. Your drawings are tied to your account and stay there.
Yes. Your trades and strategies belong to you alone — they are never shared, sold or used for model training, and they are sent over an encrypted connection. If you want your account and everything in it removed, ask us and we will do it.
No catch. The free plan is not a trial and does not expire, and it never asks for a card — you can place simulated orders, keep a journal and save drawings without ever paying. It includes futures charts from all three exchanges: Binance, OKX and Bybit. What Free limits is depth and volume: the full history on 3-day, weekly and monthly charts, a year on daily, and about 400 candles on each intraday timeframe — 17 days on hourly, 36 hours on 5-minute — plus 30 backtests a day on a free account, or 3 a day if you use the app without signing in. Only orders count: watching, pausing and picking a replay up tomorrow cost nothing. Paid plans add deeper intraday history and more backtests. The prices are on this page, the checkout is not open yet, and the free plan stays free.
No. FreeBacktest is fully visual: click and drag on the chart to trade. No Python, Pine Script or any programming knowledge required.
All candle data is collected directly from official Binance, OKX and Bybit sources. Every candle is a real exchange candle — we never use synthetic data.
No one can guarantee that — and you should run from any tool that promises it. Backtesting shows how your strategy behaved in the past; it helps you measure your risk, make your mistakes cheaply and build discipline. Simulated results do not represent actual trading results.
The free plan has nothing to cancel — you can simply stop using it, and signing out invalidates your session on every device at once. For a paid plan, cancelling stops the next charge and leaves you the time you already paid for, and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
The terminal itself is always dark — this is just the front door. Want it dark too?
