Yes. The replay trainer, ICT overlays, simulated trading and the $50K evaluation challenge are free to use in your browser — no install and no credit card.
What's the difference between FX Replay and NQ Replay?
FX Replay is a forex-focused replay simulator covering currency pairs across multiple timeframes. NQ Replay is purpose-built for CME Nasdaq futures (NQ and MNQ) with 1-minute candles, ICT Killzones, Fair Value Gaps, PDH/PDL liquidity lines and a $50K prop-firm style evaluation.
Does NQ Replay support forex pairs?
No. We're specialised in NQ and MNQ index futures. If you trade EURUSD, GBPUSD or other FX pairs, FX Replay is the better fit. If you trade Nasdaq futures, NQ Replay is built around that single market.
Can I practice prop-firm challenges?
Yes. The built-in $50K Challenge mirrors common evaluation rules — grow a $50,000 account to $53,000 without breaching a $48,000 floor. Every attempt is logged in your journal.
