FX Replay Review (2026)
A web-based replay and backtesting tool with a free tier, a built-in Prop Firm Simulator and 300+ markets. It suits candle-level practice on forex and gold. NQ and ES futures need the top plan, and I couldn't find public refund or cancellation terms.

Verdict: FX Replay is a good fit if you want to practise forex or gold on candles and rehearse a prop firm's profit target and loss limits. The free Beginner plan and the Intermediate plan cover that. Its Prop Firm Simulator tracks a profit target, a daily loss limit and a total loss limit; trailing or end-of-day drawdown isn't documented, so don't assume it copies your firm's exact rules. For NQ or ES you need Pro. The data is candles (OHLCV), with seconds candles on Pro, not tick data. Before paying, note that I found no public refund, cancellation or auto-renewal terms, and Trustpilot reviews include billing and lag complaints.

You can also move between plans: FX Replay says you can upgrade, downgrade or stay free at any time, and on a downgrade the plan limits apply but your account data isn't deleted. It accepts cards and crypto.
Markets and data
- Coverage: more than 300 assets on all plans: forex, indices (as CFDs, such as US30 and US NAS 100), metals including XAUUSD, energy, bonds, agriculturals, some crypto and a few major stocks. Intermediate adds more US stocks.
- Futures: Pro adds all futures (NQ, ES, YM and the micros, plus CME contracts such as GC), history from 2012.
- History: most forex, indices and metals go back to 2003. Session-data retention depends on plan: 1 week, 6 months or unlimited.
- Data type: OHLCV candles from 1 minute to monthly; Pro adds seconds candles (1s and 5s) on supported assets. Futures volume is real exchange volume. The homepage talks about "tick-precise" replay, but the help center describes candles, so don't buy it expecting tick data.
- Platform: runs in the browser. I found no desktop or mobile app.
Using it for prop firm practice
FX Replay has a "Prop Firm Session" mode where you set a profit target, a maximum daily loss and a maximum total loss, and a rules tab shows your status. Skipping ahead is disabled in these sessions. The homepage also mentions configurable spreads and commissions. The order window supports stop loss, take profit (with partial take profit) and auto break-even.
Where it stops: the help article documents only those three rules. I found no firm presets, and no documentation of trailing or end-of-day drawdown, so it won't replicate a firm like Lucid Trading or Topstep on its own. Track the drawdown floor yourself as in the drawdown guide, and treat your firm's dashboard as the source of truth. Replay also ignores real slippage and nerves.
How it compares: see the backtesting software guide for FX Replay against Forex Tester Online and TradingView Bar Replay. In short, FX Replay is the only one of the three with a built-in prop firm session; Forex Tester claims deeper tick data, and TradingView Bar Replay is included if you already pay for it.
Is there a discount?
FX Replay's affiliate page says referred users get 15% off. I couldn't confirm how it's applied, which plans or billing periods it covers or how long it lasts, so check your price at checkout and don't count on it.
Watch-outs
- No public refund or cancellation terms. Its terms and refund page URLs returned errors when I checked, and I found nothing public on auto-renewal. You can't read the terms before you pay. Ask support and screenshot the answer.
- Billing complaints. Trustpilot shows 4.1 from 657 reviews (2 November 2026; it was 4.2 from 652 on 24 October). Recent 1-star reviews mention an auto-renewal with an unanswered refund request and difficulty unsubscribing. I read only the first page of reviews, and Trustpilot isn't fact-checked.
- Lag. Some reviews from September and October 2026 report lag, freezes and candle-loading problems. That may relate to the chart migration below.
- Chart migration. FX Replay is retiring its old charts for a "New Chart", and existing drawings and layouts don't carry over.
- Slow replies to negatives. It replied to 29% of negative Trustpilot reviews, typically after more than a month. Many positive reviews praise named support staff.
- Candles, not ticks, and futures cost extra. If you need NQ or ES, you need Pro.

Who FX Replay is for
A good fit: forex and gold traders who want to practise a strategy on candles, rehearse a profit target and loss limits, and start on a free plan before paying.
Not a good fit: traders who need tick-level futures history to test intraday trailing drawdown (compare Forex Tester Online), or anyone who wants guaranteed refund terms in writing before paying.
