Frequently asked questions

Replay is a backtesting platform. You pick an instrument and a date in the past, and the market replays from that moment. You trade with a simulated account and nothing is revealed before its time, so you practise without hindsight.

No. All trading is simulated. Balances, positions and results are practice figures and don't involve any broker or real funds.
