Bar Replay lets you practise trading on historical charts while future candles remain hidden. It replays price movements one candle at a time, allowing you to test entries, exits, stop-losses, targets, and trade-management decisions in a simulated environment.
Overview
Bar Replay begins from a historical candle selected by you. The candles after the selected point remain hidden and are revealed gradually as the replay progresses.
During a replay session, you can:
- Pause the replay.
- Move forward one candle at a time.
- Adjust the replay speed.
- Use technical indicators on the chart.
- Place simulated Buy or Sell trades.
- Set a stop-loss and target directly on the chart.
- Reverse an open simulated position.
- Review the trades taken during the session.
Note: Bar Replay uses historical market data for simulated trading. Orders placed during a replay are not sent to the live market and do not affect your funds, holdings, or positions.
Starting Bar Replay
- Open a chart on FYERS Web or the FYERS App.
- Select the Bar Replay icon.
- Choose the historical candle from which you want the replay to begin.
- Start the replay and use the playback controls to manage its speed or move candle by candle.
Using Technical Indicators
You can add the technical indicators you normally use before starting Bar Replay. This allows you to practise with the same chart setup and trading context that you use while analysing live markets.
Placing Simulated Trades
While the replay is running, you can place a simulated Buy or Sell trade with a quantity of your choice. The trade is recorded only within the replay session and is not executed in the live market.
Managing Stop-Loss and Target
After entering a simulated trade, you can set a stop-loss and target directly on the chart using drag and drop. As the replay progresses, you can observe whether the stop-loss or target is reached and assess how the trade was managed.
Reversing a Position
The Reverse Position option closes the current simulated position and immediately opens a simulated position in the opposite direction.
For example, reversing a simulated Buy position closes it and opens a simulated Sell position.
Reviewing the Trade Summary
At the end of the replay, you can review the overall profit and loss and the list of simulated trades taken during the session. The summary can help you assess your entries, exits, stop-loss placement, targets, and trade-management decisions.
Replaying the Same Market Scenario
You can restart Bar Replay from the same historical candle to test a different approach. For example, you can change the entry, exit, stop-loss, target, or position direction and compare the outcome under the same historical market conditions.
