Strategy tester
The MaxProfit Strategy Tester is a full trading platform in “time-machine” mode. Rewind the history of any instrument bar by bar, trade from the chart like in a live terminal and refine strategies in a risk-free environment down to the tick. The best way to turn an idea into a proven skill — before you risk real money.
Time machine for the market
Rewind history years back and trade day by day as if it’s happening right now. Step one bar, step any period, jump to a specific date — all in one click. The chart reveals itself the way a trader saw it at that moment: no peeking into the future.
Real-time playback
Press Play and the chart comes alive — bars appear at an adjustable speed, from glacial to lightning. The simulation is as close to a real session as it gets: you have time to think, judge, click. Ideal for training decision-making speed.
Trade directly from the chart
Buy and sell with one button, place pending orders, stops and takes by clicking right on the candles. Open positions, orders and SL/TP lines show on the chart as markers and lines — completely visual. You train the exact skill you’ll use in a live terminal.
About 100 built-in indicators
Moving Average, MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, Ichimoku, ATR, ADX, Stochastic, VWAP, SuperTrend, Parabolic SAR, Awesome, Aroon, CCI, MFI, OBV — and dozens more. Every indicator is fully configurable: periods, colors, line widths, price sources. A pro’s standard kit out of the box.
Professional drawing tools
Trend lines, rays, channels, rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, ellipses. Full Fibonacci set: retracements, extensions, fan, circle, spiral, time zones. Pitchforks (Andrews, Schiff, modified), Gann Box, ABCD, XABCD, 3/5/8 Elliott waves — chart analysis at any depth.
Regression channel and ruler
Build regression lines with adjustable deviation for statistically grounded price channels. The ruler measures distance, price and time between points — an instant answer to “how many pips, bars and percent between these candles”. Analytics become concrete, not intuitive.
Flexible project management
Every backtest is its own project with its own set of instruments, quotes and trades. Create as many projects as you like for different strategies, markets and periods. The history of your experiments never goes anywhere and is always available to revisit.
Quote downloads and data tools
Download historical quotes straight from the app or import from files in any format. Multi-timeframe support, data integrity checks, automatic stitching of disjoint history pieces. The quality of a backtest starts with the quality of its data — and we take that seriously.
Realistic order simulation
Market and pending orders, stops, takes, partial close, position scaling. Spread, commission and slippage are accounted for — just like a live broker. Backtests show profitability that’s close to real trading, not an idealized picture.
Automatic position size from risk
Enter a risk amount or percentage — the app picks the right position size for your current stop. Lot precision from 1 to 8 decimals — works for stocks, futures, crypto and forex alike. Stop doing position-sizing math in your head before every trade.
Project trade journal
Every trade from a backtest goes into a dedicated journal inside the tester — with tags, comments, screenshots and any custom fields. When a project ends you have a ready-to-analyze database: what worked, what didn’t, under what conditions. Learn from simulated mistakes without losing real money.
Screenshots and notes in real time
Save key chart moments right while you trade — setup snapshots, markups, annotations. Attach them to specific trades and comments. After a thousand trades you walk away with not just statistics but a living visual collection of market experience.
Position and order markers on the chart
Open positions show as arrows, entry lines and floating PnL right on the candles. Pending orders appear as dotted levels, stops and takes as color-coded lines. One glance and you see the whole trading picture without switching to separate panels.
Fullscreen and multi-chart
Expand a chart to fullscreen for maximum focus, or work with multiple charts side by side. Quick switching between saved charts of a single project is great for multi-timeframe analysis. The workspace adapts to you, not the other way around.
Fine-grained chart settings
Customize everything: chart type (candles, bars, lines), colors, fonts, grid, volume display, date format, canvas background, cursor behavior. Save your visual preferences — the app remembers and applies them on every launch. Your chart looks and works the way you want it to.
Why train with the MaxProfit Strategy Tester?
Most trading mistakes come not from a weak understanding of the market but from a lack of practice. The MaxProfit Strategy Tester lets you gain experience without risking real money — running hundreds of trades in a focused session in a single evening.
After working with the tester you understand your strategy better, train discipline of entries and exits and end up with a full trade journal inside the project — with tags, screenshots and metrics. Trading first in the simulator and then with real money is the short path to consistent results.
