FX Replay plan picker: free, Intermediate or Pro

From the pricing page and Plans & Pricing Compared (updated 3 October 2026), both read on 5 November 2026. Every plan allows 6 assets per session. Session duration is “how much historical time a single session can cover, not how long you spend testing”. The pricing cards say "200 records per session" for Intermediate; the comparison table and the help article say 200 trades per session. The plans table gives Beginner no stocks ("—"); the assets article (updated 28 October 2026) puts "a few major stocks" on all plans. The pricing FAQ says the paid-plan trial needs "no credit card required to start"; the help article How the Free Trial Works (updated 22 October 2026) has you "Add your billing address and payment method to confirm the trial".

One session covers up to 1 month of history, the Go To date jump works 3 times an hour, and the economic calendar shows one country's past news. The paid-plan tools (the Prop Firm Simulator, Rewind, spreads and commissions, Auto break even, the Monte Carlo and RR simulators) are not on it. Its markets, like every plan's: forex, index CFDs such as US30 and US NAS 100, metals, energy, bonds, agricultural, a selection of crypto and a few major stocks (Available Assets, updated 28 October 2026).

Pro adds all futures (CME: NQ, ES, YM, GC, CL), all stocks, crypto pairs from exchanges such as Binance, Bybit and Coinbase, and seconds timeframes. Index CFDs such as US30 and US NAS 100 are on every plan; their futures (YM, NQ, ES) come from CME and need Pro. Seconds charts go down to 1 second on futures and 5 seconds on forex pairs (Trading on Seconds Timeframes). FX Replay's data starts in 2003 for most major forex pairs and 2012 for CME futures.

You pick “Prop Firm Session” when creating a session and add the challenge's rules. In a prop firm session there is “no replay functionality on the price skip control”, so you can't go back over a missed trade; Tab shows where you stand against the rules. Fail and you can retry or open the analytics; pass and FX Replay issues its own certificate, which, its page says, “is not a certificate issued by a prop firm” ( Prop Firm Simulator help, updated 26 June 2026; the simulator's page). Your firm's exact numbers are on its own rules page: for FTMO, our 1-Step vs 2-Step calculator prints them with the date.

FX Replay is a general backtester: forex, indices, metals, crypto, stocks and, on Pro, CME futures, with your own sessions, indicators and journal. ProEA Practice replays prop-style challenge days on two markets, gold and Bitcoin, with the daily loss and drawdown rules switched on and a report after each day; it has one free challenge day. It doesn't test a strategy of your own on other markets, so for that job FX Replay is the better tool, and that's what the picker assumes.

FX Replay's release notes, read on 5 November 2026, end with the April 2026 release: charts that use less memory, revamped custom timeframes, custom indicators allowed in Battles and Prop Firm sessions, Strat Assistant, Silver Bullet, Round Number, Round Number Quarters Theory and DR/IDR released as open source, one-click sync of every Live Journal account, and a redesigned Mentor whose Custom Agents answer from strategy files you upload. Since then the help centre has been rewritten: its FXR Script article (updated 15 October 2026) says Pine Script code “can't be pasted in as it is”: an indicator from the previous charts has to be rewritten in FXR Script (Custom Indicators with FXR Script).

The trial is for first sign-up only; at its end “your trial turns into a paid subscription and your first payment is taken, unless you cancel before the trial ends” (How the Free Trial Works, updated 22 October 2026). Payments are non-refundable except for duplicate charges, billing errors or a confirmed platform failure reported within 30 days; forgetting to cancel isn't covered (Refund Policy, updated 3 October 2026). With an active FTMO account you get 30% off Intermediate or Pro: through FTMO's Client Area for a new FX Replay account, or through FX Replay's support (matching emails and FTMO's verification link) for an existing one (Discounts & Promotions). FX Replay's Head of Affiliates wrote to us that our code PROEA, typed at checkout, gives 30% off for now (FX Replay's standard referral discount is 15%); the link alone applies no discount, and the code is ours, so FX Replay may pay us when you use it.
