TradingSim
tradingsim.com
Browser-based market replay simulator that replays past US stock, futures and crypto sessions tick by tick, so traders can practice without risking money.
What it is
TradingSim replays real historical market sessions, including pre-market and after-hours, so you can trade a past day as if it were live. Unlike a broker's paper account, which only runs during market hours in real time, a replay can be paused, sped up or restarted, and you can drill the same setup across many past days. Everything stays synchronized across symbols, charts, time and sales and the scanner. It covers more than 10,000 US stocks, mini and micro futures on indices, commodities and currencies, and major cryptocurrencies, and it runs in a web browser.
There are two plans. Pro includes the replay engine, customizable workspaces, a scanner with filters such as pre-market volume, gap percentage and short interest, hotkeys, charts with indicators like VWAP, ATR and relative volume, performance analytics and two years of market history. Premium adds five years of history, tick and second charts, Level 2 order book replay and the ability to trade live sessions on a 15-minute delay.
Both plans have a 7-day free trial and include data fees. The homepage shows prices billed annually; check the checkout page for monthly billing. It is a practice tool: trades are simulated on replayed data.
