Built for traders
who train like athletes.

Backcandle is a bar-by-bar trading simulator. You pick a market and a date, the chart hides everything to the right, and you trade one bar at a time. Every fill goes straight to your journal. No spreadsheets, no hindsight.

01 · Why it exists

Practice needs
the future hidden.

Scrolling back through a chart hands you the answer before you decide. Live paper trading keeps it hidden, but a setup that shows up twice a week takes years to reach a sample worth trusting. Backcandle sits between the two: real exchange history, one bar at a time, the next bar hidden until you ask for it — so a weekend can hold the repetitions of months of live sessions.

02 · How it works

Three steps,
no spreadsheet.

01

Pick a window

A market and a date — or let blind replay pick both and keep them hidden until the session ends.

02

Trade bar by bar

Market, limit and stop orders, filled against the real candles; leverage, funding and liquidation on perpetuals.

03

Read the session

Every fill is journaled. The report card scores you against your own rules and shows what went wrong.

03 · What we hold ourselves to

No claim we
cannot back.

  • The figures on this site are read from the product — the instrument count above included.
  • Claims about other tools come from their own sites, dated, or say not verified.
  • No ratings or testimonials we did not collect.
  • The future stays hidden — in blind replay, even the symbol and the date.
