TradingView is a charting platform whose bar replay can also place trades and show their statistics — but those trades are not kept once the session ends. Backcandle is built around the replay itself: every fill is journaled and kept, so the sessions add up.

The Backcandle column is checked against the product. The TradingView bar replay column is read from their own site, tradingview.com, and was last checked Oct 1, 2026. Their plans change, so their site is the current answer. Cells marked not verified are ones no page of theirs we found states — that is not the same as them lacking it.
Yes, for practising execution over many sessions. TradingView is the better charting platform, and its replay can place trades, but they are not saved after the session. Backcandle keeps every fill in a journal and computes win rate, profit factor and max drawdown for each session.
