Forex paper trading app: practise without a broker, on real past prices
Paper trading means placing trades with pretend money, so you can learn and test without losing anything. You don’t need a broker account to do it: PlayBack Forex gives you a paper account on real market history, with the future hidden, from any phone or computer.
Paper trading that feels like the real thing
- Set your starting balance, leverage, spread and commission.
- Market and pending orders, stop loss and take profit in pips or price, 1R to 3R targets.
- Risk sizing in dollars or percent, trailing stop, break-even, close half, reverse.
- Daily loss and maximum drawdown limits, so you can practise prop-firm rules.
- One account across every chart and pair, like a real broker account.
Why paper trade on history instead of a demo?
A demo account paper trades today’s market in real time, so you only get the setups that happen this week. On PlayBack Forex you choose the day and the speed, so you can practise a hundred setups in a weekend and see the result straight away.
