How market replay works
2
Start from a hidden point in history
Each session begins at a random historical starting point. Every later candle stays hidden, so you decide without knowing what happened next.
3
Advance and review
Reveal the chart one candle at a time, record simulated decisions, then review the session once you finish.
Market replay, paper trading and backtesting
These terms overlap, but they describe different practice methods. Knowing the difference helps you pick the right one.
Market replay
Plays back finished historical price action in chronological order so you can practice reading the chart and making directional decisions.
Paper trading
Usually simulates live orders, an account balance, open positions and running P&L against current or simulated market conditions.
Automated backtesting
Runs a defined rule or strategy across a large historical dataset automatically and reports aggregated statistics.
ChartMini is a historical chart replay and simulated-decision tool. It is not a full broker simulator and not an automated strategy backtesting platform.
