Paper Trading That Actually Translates to Live Trading

Most paper trading accounts make you wait in real time for setups that may never come — and many feed you simulated or delayed prices that behave nothing like a live market. TradingSim is different. Paper trade against real historical tick data you can replay on demand, so you rehearse hundreds of setups in the time a live demo account gives you a handful.

  • Real market data, not simulated — every tick replayed from actual sessions, so your fills and the tape behave like the real thing
  • Practice on demand — don't wait for the market, replay any session from the past 3 years whenever you want
  • Virtual money, zero risk — trade any size and learn from mistakes that cost you nothing

Replay Any Market Session From the Past 3 Years

The replay engine is what makes this the best paper trading simulator on the market. Pick any date, hit play, and paper trade the full session — synchronized across every chart, tool, and indicator.

  • Replay full market sessions — pick any date from the past 3 years and relive it tick by tick
  • Speed controls — slow down to 0.5x or fast-forward at 2x, 5x, 10x to skip the dead zones
  • Jump to key moments — pre-market, the open, news catalysts, and after hours with one click

  • VWAP, ATR & more — key metrics displayed alongside the book for faster decision-making
