Turn Replay Into a Review Exercise
Replay steps through a recorded session with its levels, so you can pause before an outcome and write down what you see.
In this lesson
- Load and step through a recorded session
- Use Replay for review rather than as a backtest
Pick a recorded date range, or request a past session. A first request for a symbol can take a minute or longer while its history is collected, and some sessions have gaps.
Press Play, or use Step to move one recorded point at a time. Pause at a level and describe the reaction before moving on. The level migration chart shows how the recorded levels moved during the day, and the GEX heatmap adds detail when you want it.
Watch out
Replay is a review of recorded history. It doesn’t simulate fills, it isn’t a strategy backtest, and it doesn’t show that you could have traded at the displayed price.
Note Which plans include it
Replay is included in Retail and Advance.

Educational content, not investment advice. Lessons describe how markets and models tend to behave. They don’t tell anyone what to buy, sell or hold. Interactive examples use illustrative sample data, and simulator results are simulated — not actual trading. Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors.
