Live paper trading is honest but slow. At 1× speed you can maybe log 4–6 setups per session. If your edge appears twice a week, building 300 repetitions takes three years.
What changes at 10x
At 10× speed on a replay simulator you can run the same number of setups in a weekend. Pattern recognition accelerates. Journal entries accumulate. Weaknesses show up fast — a three-year feedback loop compresses to a month of focused work.
- Speed modes — Backcandle supports 0.5×, 1×, 2×, 5×, 10× playback
- Trade log — every fill is recorded with how it closed, including stop-loss and take-profit exits, ready to annotate afterwards
- Analytics — win rate, profit factor, max drawdown and an equity curve computed per session
The compression only helps if the repetitions are honest. Speed with the outcome visible is just faster hindsight — which is why bar-by-bar replay beats scrollback in the first place.
You can start a replay session on any instrument in the catalog.
