Daily bar replay
Pick a stock and a past session. The chart shows the 60 sessions before it and stops at its close; every session after it stays hidden until you step forward. Place a simulated long or short, with a stop if you want one, and step a day at a time. Each position you close is logged to your journal as simulated, apart from your real trades and out of every statistic they feed.
How fills work here
- Orders are decided at a session’s close and fill at the next session’s open: a daily bar has no intraday path to fill inside.
- A stop fills at its price when the bar trades through it, and at the open when the bar opens past it (a gap), which is worse.
- No fees, no slippage beyond that, and no borrow cost on a short. At the last stored session an open position closes at that close.
- Bars are our stored end-of-day sessions from 2024-07-01 on, split-adjusted, so a replay reaches back about two years. The page reads them when you start, and each session’s date prints on screen.
- Practice on past data is not a forecast of future results, and nothing here suggests a trade.
