Market Playback Feature?

I was reading about someone, who learned to trade in the evenings by replaying the trading day and mock trading through the playback.

I am not super abreast of all the platforms out there and what they offer, so I thought I would ask for some advice on what platforms or software packages could do something like this? (I believe the person I read about used Ensign?)

Re: Market Playback Feature?

I use esignal which offers this feature. I believe other platforms offer this feature as well but surprised Tradestation doesnt.

Re: Market Playback Feature?

You could also use SnagIt and/or Camtasia Studio as well, just be aware of how large the files can become.

Investor R/T has a playback, as does Market Delta.

Ninjatrader offers this feature as well, it's free for sim trading.

Try mirus or amp futures for demo accounts.

Re: Market Playback Feature?

Sierra Charts has it. I suspect it's considerably less expensive than the others.

Re: Market Playback Feature?

Investor/RT and MarketDelta have a global playback feature. Users can playback one symbol, or multiple symbols (quotepage)...and the playback can begin at any time at a user specified rate. Here is some more info on IRT playback:

Re: Market Playback Feature?

Hello, I use ensign software and it has the playback feature and it is working nicely. Also, 39$ a month for basic service with forex included and playback for the e-mini. + add fees for direct day to day access to e-mini either with IB, transact, Esignal or others.

It is very good for learning by using the playback feature.

Was suggested by DbPhoenix through his book that I purchassed (BTW excellent book and really like the content) and it really help to get the feel for the market in real time versus hindsight charts.

Sincerely

Shreem
