Question 1

Is Backtest TradingLab really 100% free with no hidden charges?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All replay terminals, multi-timeframe candle navigation, and mathematical calculators are completely free for lifetime with zero paywalls, subscription tiers, or credit card requirements.

Question 2

Where does the market candle data come from?

Accepted Answer

Crypto market feeds are fetched directly via public real-time exchange endpoints (such as Binance) executed client-side on your browser. Forex and metal data (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, XAU/USD) utilize high-fidelity historical MT5 tick-level feeds delivered with ultra-low latency via Cloudflare edge storage.

Question 3

Do you store my trading data, logs, or strategy setups?

Accepted Answer

No. Backtest TradingLab operates under strict privacy and client-side execution principles. All your simulation journals, P&L calculations, and drawn charts run locally inside your browser memory/local storage. No proprietary strategy data ever leaves your computer.

Question 4

How is this different from TradingView Bar Replay?

Accepted Answer

Unlike mainstream charting suites that lock sub-daily bar replay behind costly monthly plans, Backtest TradingLab offers deep historical tick and candle replay completely free, specifically optimized for Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT, and price action traders.

Question 5

Can I backtest using different timeframes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The replay terminals support flexible multi-timeframe navigation ranging from 1m, 5m, 15m, up to 1H, 4H, and 1D historical bars.

Question 6

Do I need to create an account or sign up to use the terminals?

Accepted Answer

No account or registration is required. You can launch any terminal directly and start backtesting immediately.

Question 7

What drawing and analysis tools are available on the charts?

Accepted Answer

Our workstations feature institutional Smart Money Concepts (SMC) vector tools including Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Break of Structure / Change of Character (BOS/CHoCH) markers, horizontal liquidity lines, Fibonacci retracements, and synchronized Long/Short position risk-to-reward projection boxes.

Question 8

Can I place simulated trades with dynamic Stop Loss and Take Profit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can execute market orders directly through the workstation order panel or link them visually by dragging the TP and SL handles of the Long/Short position tool. All fills, unrealized P&L, and closed trade statistics are tracked live in your session performance table.

Question 9

How does the Crypto Futures & Pocket Margin Calculator work with Binance live prices?

Accepted Answer

Our Crypto Futures Calculator connects directly client-side to Binance's live ticker feed with a Sync Live toggle. You specify your Pocket Margin investment ($) and select institutional leverage from 1x up to 125x to compute full notional trading value, exact coin quantities, estimated isolated liquidation price, and bidirectional Take Profit targets with zero server latency.

Question 10

How does the Forex & Metals Lot Size Calculator calculate required margin on XAU/USD Gold and MT5 pairs?

Accepted Answer

The Forex & Metals Terminal features dual calculation workflows: Option A (Trader-Style) allows specifying custom lot sizes (Standard, Mini, Micro) and broker leverage to auto-calculate required margin; Option B (Risk-Based) computes recommended lots from account balance and risk percentage with automatic pip valuation.
