01 About Backcandle

Backcandle is a bar-by-bar futures and crypto replay simulator designed to help traders build pattern recognition and execution discipline without the pace constraints of live paper trading. The platform hides the right side of the chart, forcing users to make entry, management, and exit decisions under realistic uncertainty.

Every session produces automatic journal entries, P&L tracking, and analytics — win rate, average R, drawdown curves, tag-based breakdowns — so traders accumulate a structured performance record alongside their practice reps.

04 Positioning

Backcandle is not a brokerage, paper trading account, or strategy backtester. It is a deliberate practice platform — the closest analogy is a flight simulator for traders. The key differentiator is psychological realism: because the future is hidden and execution is real-time, users experience the same uncertainty they face in live markets.
