What's New
Futures, Footprint & Custom Timeframes
14.07.2026
Trade CME futures. See order flow inside every candle. Build charts on any interval. This is the biggest update yet.
Real Futures Data, Zero Guesswork
Official CME tick data back to 2013 (varies by instrument), included free — no data fees, no hidden recurring charges. Back-adjusted contracts, no fake roll gaps. Rollover handled automatically. No phantom P&L.
See Who's Winning Every Candle
Most charts show you that price moved. Footprint shows you why — bid and ask volume at every price level inside the bar. Delta calculated per candle. Spot the imbalance before the breakout, not after.
Your Timeframe, Not Ours
Any interval from M1 up, built exactly the way you need it. No more forcing your strategy into someone else's default chart. Test on the timeframe it was actually designed for.

Exit Optimizer & More
27.01.2026
Let Exit Optimizer automatically find the best stop loss, take profit, and holding duration for your strategy backtest. Do the same with any demo or live trading history — upload your trades from MetaTrader, TradingView, or NinjaTrader and Forex Tester Online will analyze the results, find optimal exit parameters, and show you where and how exactly your system can improve.
Optimized for Your Individual Backtest
Exit Optimizer tests stop loss, take profit, and holding duration ranges calibrated to how you actually trade. Scalpers and swing traders operate on different scales — the optimizer adjusts parameter steps accordingly, so every result is relevant to your strategy.
Exit by Time, Not Just Price
Max holding duration works as a standalone exit strategy: push stop loss and take profit to their maximums so price never touches them, and let the optimizer find the ideal timing to close your trades. A clean way to test whether your entries have a natural time-based edge.
Find the Sweet Spot, Avoid the Trap
The top result isn't always the right one. After optimization runs, sliders stay live — adjust parameters manually and watch performance metrics update in real time. This is how you avoid curve fitting: not by taking the peak, but by finding the range where results stay strong and the logic actually makes sense for your system.
Also in this release:
Profit Chart in Analytics
Visualize your equity curve and spot what raw numbers hide
Timezone List with DST
Clear daylight saving time indicators on every timezone
Fixed Range Volume Profile
Instant volume distribution for any selected price range
You already have a trading idea. The only question is whether it actually works. Backtest it, optimize it, trust it. Start free today.
What's New
Trading Journal & More
22.12.2025
Tag your trades, track your confidence, attach screenshots and checklists — all directly inside Forex Tester Online as you backtest. Then explore your journal through analytics and let the data reveal patterns you'd never spot manually.
Tags — Your Most Powerful Analytical Tool
Tag every trade by what drove your decision — the setup, the context, the conditions. Build your own categorization system and Forex Tester Online will track performance across every dimension you define. Tag Analytics then breaks it all down by win rate, profit factor, and more.
Build Discipline with Checklists
Create custom checklists and attach them to your trades. Before placing an order, verify that your setup meets your own criteria — trend alignment, confirmation, key levels. The same checklist, every trade. That's how habits become a system.
Capture Your Reasoning, Not Just Your Results
Log confidence level, notes, and up to 10 screenshots on every trade. Over time your journal builds a clear picture of how you think and decide — making it easier to spot where your process breaks down, not just where your P&L does.
Also in this release:
Visible Range Volume Profile
Volume distribution based on your current chart view
Candlestick Patterns
13 classic price action patterns including Inside Bar, Hammer, Doji and more
Psychological Levels
Automatic plotting of key support and resistance price levels
Backtesting builds the data. Journaling builds the insight. Together they build a trader who knows exactly why their system works — and what to fix when it doesn't. Start free today.
What's New
Trade Analyzer & More
18.09.2025
Trade Analyzer now works with your imported trade history. Upload from your favorite platform and get the same analysis you'd get from a trading coach who's seen it all — except this one runs on data, not opinions. Built by traders, based on years of research. Just your numbers, analyzed with precision.
Diagnose, Then Fix
Trade Analyzer doesn't just show what happened. It tells you why you're losing — and by exactly how much each mistake costs you. Revenge trading after a loss? It calculates the damage. Wrong session? It shows the numbers. Each finding comes with a concrete recommendation and a net value you can act on.
20+ Tests. Every Angle Covered.
Risk per trade, revenge trading, session performance, directional bias, drawdown structure, position sizing consistency, news trading behavior, daily loss limits — and more. Each test examines a specific pattern in your trading, quantifies its impact, and suggests a plan.
Import From Any Platform
Export your trade history and upload it directly. Here's how to get your file:
- MT4 → Terminal → Account History → right-click → Save as Report (.html).
- MT5 → Toolbox → History → right-click → Report (HTML, not XML).
- TradingView → export from Replay or Paper Trading tab.
- NinjaTrader → Trade Performance → Export, Display "Trades" not "Executions" (.csv).

Notes on Charts

Most traders lose not because their strategy is wrong — but because they repeat the same costly mistakes without ever measuring them. Trade Analyzer was built to fix exactly that. Start free today.
