Questions before you start
What is the difference between Backtesting and Journal?
Journal shows your real trades. Backtesting shows your practice trades from replay sessions. Both use the same dashboard, calendar and reports, so you can compare them side by side.
Can I move my history from TradeZella?
Yes. Export a CSV from TradeZella and upload it under Import. Tradervue CSV works the same way.
Can BacktestBook place trades in my broker account?
No. Broker sync is read only. It reads your trades and nothing else.
What does the Free plan include?
The full journal and 10 backtest sessions in total, with candle replay. Tick replay, Pine scripts and the TrueSMC indicators come with Pro.
Which markets can I backtest?
Seven forex and gold pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, GBPJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, XAUUSD) and two crypto pairs (BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT).
Does it work for prop firm traders?
Yes. You can import from TopstepX and Tradovate, and the prop firm tracker keeps your fees, resets and payouts apart from your trading results.
