Backcandle 1.0 — trade real market history, bar by bar
The first major release. Pick an instrument and a point in history, then step the market forward one bar at a time with the right side of the chart hidden — you trade what you can see, never what already happened. Positions behave like the real thing: leverage, margin, funding and liquidation all cost what they would live. Every closed trade is journalled on its own, so a session ends with numbers on your execution instead of a vague feeling.

- Replay real market history one bar at a time, with the right side of the chart hidden — you can only trade what a trader standing at that moment could have seen
- Start a session anywhere in history: pick the instrument, the date you want to begin at and the balance you want to trade with
- Step by hand when it matters, or let the market run on its own from half speed up to 10× and pause the moment something interesting shows up
- Skip the dead stretches — jump the session forward without clicking through hundreds of bars nothing happens in
- Autoplay keeps its own pace even if you switch tabs or your laptop stutters, so a run is never quietly distorted by the browser
- Walk away mid-session and come back later: the chart, open positions, working orders and your drawings are exactly where you left them
- Change timeframe without losing your place — drop to 5m to time an entry, step back out to 4h for context, anywhere between 5m and 1d
- Replay the same stretch of history twice and it behaves identically, so a difference in the result is a difference in your decisions
- Market, limit and stop orders, each able to carry a stop-loss and a take-profit set at the moment you enter
- Stops and targets belong to their position: close it and they go with it, so nothing is left working on the book behind your back
- Nothing fills on the candle you were looking at when you clicked — market orders fill on the next bar, resting orders only once price actually reaches them
- Scale in and out: add to a position and watch the average entry move, take part of it off and leave the rest running
- Move a stop or a target on an open position as the trade develops, without closing anything
- Hedge mode: hold a long and a short on the same instrument at once, each with its own size, entry, margin and liquidation price
- Layered exits: rest reduce-only take-profits and stops on part of a position and let the rest run
- Leverage from 1× to 125×, chosen per side — a long at 5× and a short at 20× can run side by side
- Isolated margin and liquidation modelled on Binance USD-M futures: get liquidated and it costs you the position's margin, exactly as it would live
- Maker and taker fees charged on every fill, at the rates you set, fixed for each session when it starts — the cost of overtrading shows up in the numbers instead of being hidden
- Funding on perpetuals settled every 8 hours from the real historical rates, with a countdown to the next payment so an overnight hold is priced honestly
- Nine indicators — moving average, EMA, RSI, volume, Bollinger Bands, VWAP, MACD, Stochastic and SuperTrend — each with its own periods and colors
- Save the indicator set you actually use as a named preset and put it on any new session in one click
- Fifteen drawing tools: trendlines, rays, extended, horizontal and vertical lines, channels, rectangles, ellipses, triangles, fibs, freehand brush, text, callouts, flags and a ruler
- Your drawings stay with the session — the levels you marked before the move are still there when you come back to review it
- Every closed trade is journalled for you: entry, exit, direction, size, PnL, fees, how long you held it and what closed it
- Write a note on any trade — the setup you thought you were taking, the mistake you know you made — and one on the session for the plan behind it
- Filter the journal by period and instrument, and on Premium export a session's trades as a CSV
- Win rate, profit factor, maximum drawdown, average win and loss, expectancy in R and an equity curve — for a single session and across everything you have traded
- Risk-adjusted numbers when the averages are not enough: Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, value at risk, your longest winning and losing runs, and your biggest single win and loss
- Find out when you trade well and when you should stop: breakdowns by hour of day, day of the week, how the trade ended and how long you held it
- A calendar heatmap of daily PnL, so a bad Thursday habit is visible rather than remembered
- Set your own rules before a session: a cap on trades, a leverage ceiling, a maximum risk per trade, a daily loss limit, a stop after a run of losses, a required stop-loss and no averaging down
- Decide what a broken rule means — the order is refused outright, or it goes through and is recorded against you
- Finish a session and get a discipline score out of 100, with a rule-by-rule account of what you kept to and every breach that got past you
- Crypto perpetuals, commodities and US stocks, with the historical candles already loaded and ready to replay
- Sign in with Google — no extra password to invent or forget
- Free, Pro and Premium plans covering how much you can trade in a day, how many sessions you can keep open, which instruments you can reach, and how deep the journal and analytics go
- Upgrade, renew or cancel from the billing page — checkout opens over the app instead of sending you somewhere else
- Built for the keyboard: play and pause with Space, step with →, go long or short with Shift+B and Shift+S, and reach for a drawing tool with a single key
- Dark and light themes, so the terminal is readable at 2am and at noon
- Review on your phone — the dashboard, journal and analytics all work on a small screen
