Prices and limits change. Everything in the Bar Replay column was read from their own site on 10 September 2026. Check it there before you decide anything on the strength of this page.
Stated first, and plainly, because a comparison published by one of the two tools is worth nothing if it wins every row.
70+ instruments against 15. If you want to replay something unusual, this is the one that has it.
Bar Replay advertises tick-by-tick as well as bar-by-bar. FXAbsolute replays one-minute bars and nothing finer, so it cannot show you the path price took inside a minute.
No account at any point. FXAbsolute asks for a free one from your second visit.
Every trade is recorded with entry, exit, reason and result, and the analytics turn a run into a win rate, a profit factor and an expectancy. Replay without a record is practice you cannot learn from.
Five years of Dukascopy one-minute bid data, with the SHA-256 of each file published beside the studies built on it.
Over 300 pages of measured studies on this site, including twenty trending gold strategies tested across 1.87 million candles, with every trade published.
An MCP server so a coding agent can read the charts and run the tests with you.
Pick Bar Replay if breadth or tick resolution is the thing you cannot do without, or if you refuse to make an account anywhere. Pick FXAbsolute if you want the run to leave a record you can measure, and to read the research behind the data you are replaying.
Nothing, and there is no tier above it. All 15 instruments, all 10 timeframes, every indicator and drawing tool, unlimited sessions, unlimited trades, the journal and the full analytics, at no cost and with no card. Your first visit asks for nothing at all; from the second you are asked for a free account, which unlocks nothing because nothing is locked — it exists so a returning trader can be reached.
Yes, as checked on 10 September 2026. Their site states the tool is free with no download and no account needed to start, and lists no paid tier.
Bar Replay, by a distance: 70+ instruments against 15 here. Breadth is the reason to choose it.
No. It replays one-minute bars and builds every higher timeframe from them. If you need to see the price path inside a single minute, Bar Replay does that and this does not.
FXAbsolute. Every trade goes into a journal with the reasoning attached, and the analytics report win rate, profit factor, expectancy and drawdown across the run.
