The Tick Data Replay function lets you replay a past trading session as if it were happening in real time, with the option to practice simulated trading alongside it. This feature is especially useful for users who are still learning, and since it does not require a live data feed, it is also a great way to study new financial instruments before purchasing their data subscription.

How to Access Tick Data Replay

You do not need an active data feed to use this feature. To get started:

• Make-sure  the feed is disconnected, if not then disconnect the feed before using reply tool
  
  
• Click on Options
• Select Tick Data Replay from the menu
  
  
  
• The Replay Management panel will open
  
  

Managing the Replay

Step 1 – Select Your Symbol

• In the Replay Management panel, click Select Symbols
  
  
  
  
• Choose the financial instrument you want to replay
  
  
  
• Hold Ctrl while clicking to select multiple instruments and run several replays at the same time (Make-sure if you do this, if your are viewing a Symbol Heatmap and want to place trade over other Symbol from Trading Panel. For Example - Viewing NQ Heatmap and placing trade over MNQ from trading panel)
  
  
  
• Once selected, open the workspace with the charts for your chosen instrument
  
  
  

Step 2 – Set the Start Date

• Click Start Date to choose the date and time from which you want the replay to begin
  
  
  Note: Replay is only available for previous sessions. The current trading day's session is not available for replay. You can replay any session from yesterday or earlier.
  
  

Step 3 – Start the Replay

Once everything is configured:

• Click Set — the platform will load the selected session
  
  
• Click Play to begin playback
• Click Pause at any time to stop the replay
• Use the Speed section to increase the playback speed
• Click Reset to stop the replay completely
  
  

Simulated Trading

While the replay is running, you can practice placing orders as if you were trading in real time:

• Enable the Trading Panel or the Chart DOM from the toolbar
• Place orders in simulated mode directly on the chart
• The simulation behaves like a live session, allowing you to test strategies without any real risk
  
  

Conclusion

Tick Data Replay is one of the most valuable tools for traders at any stage. Use it to review past sessions, study new instruments without a data subscription, and build confidence through simulated trading before going live.
