Replay past market sessions

Live practice has one problem: the market is only open for six and a quarter hours a day. Replay takes the last five NSE sessions and plays them back candle by candle, so you can practise on real price action at eleven at night.

How it works

Load a stock, open Replay, and the chart rewinds to the start of the window. Press play and the candles arrive one at a time, at whatever speed you choose. Pause on any bar, step forward one at a time, and decide what you would have done — before you can see what happened next.

One-minute, five-minute and fifteen-minute granularity are all available, so you can practise a scalp or a whole session.

Why replay beats staring at a finished chart

A completed chart tells you where the move went. That is the one piece of information you never have when the decision is live, and it is why reviewing charts after the close teaches so much less than it feels like it does.

Replay hides the right-hand side of the chart. The bar you are looking at is the last one that exists, exactly as it would be at 10:42 on a Tuesday.

What it is worth practising

The mechanical things, which are the ones that actually cost beginners money: waiting for a level instead of chasing, sizing a position before the entry rather than after it moves, and closing something that is not working while it is still small.

Replay is also the cheapest way to find out how often a pattern you like actually works. Run the same setup across five sessions and count. If it fires three times and works once, that is worth knowing before it is your money.

Practise trades on the replayed session

Replay keeps its own practice profit and loss, separate from your live virtual portfolio, so a week of experiments does not leave your real practice account unrecognisable.

Loading a different stock while a replay is running exits the replay rather than quietly carrying on, because a session table describing one stock while the chart replays another is worse than no replay at all.
