FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes. BackForFree is supported by ads. There is nothing to buy.

Is this real trading?

No. Every order is simulated against historical market data. Nothing is sent to a broker and no money is at risk.

Which markets and dates can I replay?

CME futures (NQ, ES, YM, GC and their micros) from November 2024, seven forex majors plus gold (XAUUSD), NAS100 and US500 from January 2023 to December 2025, and ten major coins from Binance, with BTC and ETH back to August 2017. All data is 1-minute bars.

How are stop losses filled inside a 1-minute candle?

We assume a deterministic path: for a rising candle Open → Low → High → Close, for a falling candle Open → High → Low → Close. Stops, liquidations and market orders include your chosen slippage; limits and take-profits fill at their price.

What's the difference between intraday and end-of-day trailing drawdown?

Intraday trailing follows your highest equity including open profit, tick by tick. End-of-day trailing only moves at the daily settlement (5:00 PM ET for futures), based on your closed balance. Both stop trailing once they reach your starting balance.
