With access to hundreds of symbols, more than 20 years of historical data and data down to the 1-minute timeframe, you can go back in time and test your trading ideas across different markets and market conditions.
And there’s no subscription required.
Myfxbook Backtest is completely free. No fine print.
What Is Forex Backtesting?
Forex backtesting is the process of testing a trading strategy using historical market data.
Instead of waiting weeks or months to see how a strategy behaves in live markets, you can go back to previous market conditions and see how your approach would have performed.
Backtesting can help you answer questions such as:
- How does my strategy perform in trending markets?
- What happens during periods of high volatility?
- Does the setup work across different currency pairs?
- How frequently does the setup appear?
- How does performance change across different timeframes?
With market replay, you can take this a step further by moving through historical price action as it happened, rather than simply looking at a completed chart.
Replay More Than 20 Years of Market History
A backtest is only as useful as the historical data available to test against.
Myfxbook Backtest gives you access to more than 20 years of historical market data, including 1-minute price data.
That means you can replay and study markets across very different conditions rather than testing a strategy against only a few recent months.
From major market events and periods of extreme volatility to quieter trading environments, you can see how your strategy would have behaved across years of historical price action.
Backtest Hundreds of Symbols
Your strategy might perform well on EUR/USD — but what about GBP/USD, USD/JPY, gold or another market?
Myfxbook Backtest lets you test and replay hundreds of symbols, making it easier to compare the same trading idea across different instruments.
Instead of being limited to a small number of markets, you can explore where a strategy works, where it struggles and how its behavior changes from one symbol to another.
Multi-Chart and Synchronized Market Replay
Trading decisions are rarely based on a single chart.
You might identify the overall trend on a higher timeframe while looking for an entry on a lower timeframe.
That’s why Myfxbook Backtest supports multiple synchronized charts.
Open different charts and timeframes together and replay them in sync, giving you a much more complete view of what the market looked like at that exact point in time.
For example, you could analyze:
H4 → H1 → M15 → M5
while keeping every chart synchronized during your backtest.
This makes multi-timeframe backtesting considerably easier and closer to the way many traders actually analyze markets.
Use Technical Analysis While You Backtest
A market replay tool should give you more than just Play and Pause.
Myfxbook Backtest includes technical analysis tools and indicators so you can analyze historical markets using the same type of chart analysis you would normally perform when studying current price action.
Use indicators, drawing tools and multiple timeframes to test trading setups without knowing what happens next.
Whether your strategy is based on support and resistance, moving averages, momentum, price action or a combination of technical signals, you can apply your analysis directly to the historical chart.
Go Beyond Replay With Myfxbook Analytics
Finishing the market replay is only the beginning.
Once you’ve completed a backtest, you can analyze the results using Myfxbook Analytics.
Instead of simply finishing a replay and deciding that a strategy “felt good,” you can review its actual performance and better understand how the strategy behaved throughout the test.
This makes it easier to move from subjective chart analysis to measurable results.
Backtest. Analyze. Refine. Repeat.
Share Your Backtests
Found an interesting strategy or want someone else to review your results?
Your Myfxbook backtests can also be shared with others.
This makes it easy to share a test with another trader, discuss a strategy or provide a complete view of your backtest results without manually recreating everything elsewhere.
