Bar Replay

Replay historical price action candle-by-candle at your chosen speed - practice reading price action, backtest entries and exits, and review past sessions without a separate tool.

How to Start Bar Replay

Replay any historical session in 4 steps

Click the Bar Replay icon in the top toolbar

The play-arrow icon sits alongside OHLC, Undo/Redo and Export in the top tool bar. Clicking it opens a floating mini control panel on the chart.

Click the Jump To icon, then click a candle to set your start point

The Jump To icon is the first icon in the panel. With it active, click any candle on the chart to anchor your replay there - every candle to the right of your click instantly disappears. The moment you set an anchor, the remaining four controls (Play, Step Forward, Switch to Real-Time, and Speed) become enabled.

Press Play, or step through candle-by-candle

Hit Play to auto-advance at your chosen speed, or use Step Forward to bring in exactly one new candle per click for detailed study.

Exit replay mode anytime

Click Switch to Real-Time to jump straight back to the live edge of the chart, or click the X on the control panel to close Bar Replay entirely. Your indicators and drawings remain exactly as they were.
