Forex Tester Online Review (2026)
A browser-based backtesting and replay simulator that says it bundles tick data for forex, futures and more. I haven't used it. This is a research-based review, and the vendor's site blocked our research checks, so several details are marked unverified.
Disclosure: this review contains an affiliate link. If you buy through it I may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.
Verdict: Forex Tester Online looks like the strongest match on paper if you want tick-level forex or futures data included in the price, plus a lifetime option. I haven't used it, so I can't vouch for it. Trustpilot reviewers score it 3.9 from 115 reviews, and the complaints are about chart bugs, slowness and data that won't finish downloading. I couldn't read its pricing, terms or feature pages (they returned a 403 error to our research checks), so confirm the plan, price, futures access and refund terms on the vendor's site before paying. The vendor advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee; I haven't read the terms.

What this review is based on
Plans and prices
| Plan | Annual list price (vendor snippet) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | From $199/yr | Non-promo price per a vendor snippet. Plan limits: unverified. |
| Pro | $299/yr per vendor snippet | Sources differ, see below. Plan limits: unverified. |
| Lifetime | Unverified | A lifetime option appears to exist and its price changes. I'm not quoting a figure. |
Sources differ on Pro: the vendor snippet says $299/yr, while a third-party site (GodFunded) listed Pro at $239/yr on sale and $39.99/mo. The vendor is the more reliable source, but promotions move the price, so treat every number here as a starting point. Lifetime prices also differ across coupon and comparison sites, and a Trustpilot reviewer mentions buying a Starter lifetime plan, so I can't confirm which lifetime tiers exist.
Free demo and refund: the vendor advertises a free demo with no credit card; a third-party review says it's limited in functionality, and I don't know the limits. It also advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid plans. That's a vendor claim: I haven't read the refund terms. Trustpilot reviewers describe refunds being honoured (October 2025, February 2026, March 2026), but those are customer accounts I can't verify.
Markets and data
- Data: the vendor says historical tick data is included with no separate data subscription. Its own sources disagree on the symbol count (270+ on a features page, 200+ on its blog), so I'm leaving the number out.
- Futures: the vendor says official CME tick data goes back to 2013 (it varies by symbol), with continuous contracts and rollover handling. Which plan includes futures: unverified.
- Markets: the vendor lists forex, stocks, crypto, indices and futures. How deep each market is: unknown.
- Features: order simulation, statistics and charts are mentioned. Order types and any trade journal: unverified. A company reply on Trustpilot (July 2026) says custom 3H, 6H and 12H timeframes were added.
- Prop firm rules: the vendor has a page about passing prop firm challenges, but I couldn't read it, so I can't say whether it simulates a firm's profit target or drawdown rules. One Trustpilot reviewer (December 2025) praised its stress testing and blind testing. Whichever tool you use, track your firm's drawdown floor yourself (see the prop trader toolkit).
- Platform: web. Older listings mention a Windows desktop version, but a reviewer says desktop is no longer available.

I'm not listing a code. Promo pricing on the vendor's site changes, and coupon sites list discounts I couldn't verify. Check your price at checkout.
Watch-outs
These are customer opinions from Trustpilot unless noted. I can't verify them, and the company replies to negative reviews.
- Trustpilot score. 3.9 from 115 reviews, 14 of them in the last 12 months (third party, read 3 November 2026). 77% are 5-star and 14% are 1 or 2-star. GodFunded showed 4.1 from 114 at another time.
- Chart bugs. A February 2026 review describes the chart jumping back to 2003 on a timeframe change, freezing, and a crosshair offset with drawing tools. The company said the bugs were identified.
- Drawings, indicators and projects. October 2025 reviews report drawings and indicators becoming unresponsive or removed, projects not reopening, a forward-testing bug, and "web version not worth it".
- Data not downloading. A 1-star review dated 3 November 2026 says data hadn't finished downloading and the reviewer couldn't backtest.
- Slow web version, no desktop. Reviewers in October and November 2025 called the web version slow and said the desktop version is gone.
- Lifetime billing confusion. A January 2026 reviewer saw "subscription expired" on a lifetime purchase. The company said the payment had failed and that lifetime buyers get short-term access before payment confirms.
- Custom indicators. A third-party summary (GodFunded) says custom indicators can't be used or converted.
- Feature gaps after purchase. Reported in a March 2026 review. A refund-via-bank issue in October 2025 was resolved by the company.
- Promo-heavy pricing. The price you see depends on the promotion, and coupon sites list unverified discounts.
- Promotional comparison blogs. The vendor's own comparison posts (for example against FX Replay) are marketing; I treat their claims as claims.
Pros and cons
Pros (per the vendor, unverified)
- Tick data advertised as included, with CME futures tick data from 2013
- Free demo with no card, and a 30-day money-back guarantee advertised
- A lifetime option
- Trustpilot reviewers report refunds being honoured
Cons
- I haven't used it, and the vendor's site blocked our research checks
- Chart bugs, slowness and data-download complaints from reviewers
- Unclear plan limits and unclear which plan has futures
- Prop firm rule simulation not confirmed
- Prices and lifetime terms shift with promotions
Who it's for
Might fit: traders who want tick-level forex or futures history in the price and will verify plan details first. Use the demo and the refund window to test it on your own markets.
Probably not: anyone who needs a built-in prop firm session (look at FX Replay), or who wants a tool with a clean stability record.
