How to Use
Initialization
Attach the Expert Advisor (EA) to your desired chart (e.g., BTCUSD). The EA will automatically create and load a custom replay symbol (e.g., BTCUSD _REPLAY ). Open this newly created custom chart.
Starting the Replay
Locate the Replay Panel, typically in the top-left corner of your chart. Click the "SELECT" button. A yellow vertical line will appear on the chart; drag this line to set your desired starting date for the replay. Once the starting date is positioned, click "LOAD DATA", followed by "PLAY" to commence the simulation.
Playback Controls
Adjust the speed of the candle formation using the speed multiplier buttons, which range from 0.5x to 20x. You have the flexibility to pause the replay at any moment. Additionally, use the skip buttons ( +10 , -10 , << , >> ) to rapidly advance or rewind the simulation.
Drawing Trade Setups (Long/Short)
Navigate to the Drawing Toolbar, usually found in the bottom-right area of your chart. Click either the "LONG" or "SHORT" button to begin drawing your trade setup.
Click once on the chart to establish your Entry price.
Move your mouse cursor to define the distance for your Stop Loss.
Click a second time to confirm and finalize the setup. The Take Profit level will be automatically generated.
Dynamic Adjustments:
You can modify your trade setup at any time by dragging the Entry, Stop Loss, or Take Profit lines directly on the chart.
Important Note on Chart Settings
To ensure the replay tool can access and load extensive historical data without any limitations, please review your MetaTrader 5 chart settings. Go to Tools > Options > Charts from the top menu bar. Set the "Max bars in chart" option to "Unlimited" (or a very high number, such as 1,000,000). If this setting is restricted, older historical data may not load properly during your replay session, potentially affecting the accuracy of the simulation.
