Replay
Your account's own history
Replay runs on the main chart, on the symbol and timeframe already open.
- Broker prices
- The bars are the history your broker serves to the account, so spreads and session times match the live chart.
- Pick a bar
- Choose a starting bar on the chart. Later bars are hidden until the replay reaches them.
- Step or play
- Advance one bar at a time, or play at one to ten bars a second.
Arka Copilot
An AI read at the replay bar
Questions asked during a replay are answered from the bars revealed so far.
- No later bars
- Copilot reads the chart up to the replay bar and uses that bar's close as the price.
- Trading paused
- Orders are disabled while replay is on, so a replay never touches the live account.
