Backtesting Lab · Market replay
Take the replay for a spin.
This is the Lab's own chart engine. Practice decisions with a replay cursor that reveals only what was available at that moment — press play, step bar by bar, draw, and place a trade. Stops and targets are checked candle by candle.
- Play, pause, step and change speed
- Future candles hidden until the cursor reaches them
- Switch timeframe: bars form from printed minutes only
- Buy or sell, then drag the stop and target

The review loop
Six steps from trade to edge.
- 01
Import the trade
CSV or manual entry. Preview and reconcile before anything is committed to your record.
- 02
Attach the evidence
Screenshots, the written plan, emotions, and notes stay pinned to the trade they belong to.
- 03
Score the rules
Check the execution against the rules you wrote — not against the outcome.
- 04
Replay the decision
Step back to the moment of entry. The replay cursor reveals only what had printed.
- 05
Identify the leak
Patterns across your own records show where process breaks, not where price went.
- 06
Assign the next drill
Turn the lesson into a deliberate replay session you can actually practise.
Journal Desk
Not a spreadsheet row. A decision record.
Journal Desk keeps the plan, the execution, screenshots, emotions, and the review together — so a trade stays a decision you can study, not a number you forget. Try the notebook below with sample trades.
- Plan before the tradeTrigger, invalidation, and size, written while it still counts.
- Evidence attachedChart captures live on the trade they explain.
- State of mindRecord what shaped the decision, before and after.

AI with receipts.
