Rule simulator, trading simulator and backtest: three ways to practice without risking an account

Rule simulator: would my history have passed?

The rule simulator replays your logged trades against a firm’s evaluation rules and shows whether you would have passed, including a firm you have not signed up with yet. It also gives a pass-probability estimate by reshuffling your own past sessions thousands of times against the firm’s rules, with presets from verified rules. It is a Core feature for prop-firm accounts.

Treat the probability as an estimate drawn from your own history, not a prediction. Firm rules change, so confirm them with the firm.

Trading simulator (Sandbox): try a scenario with mock trades

A sandbox is a practice account that uses a prop-firm rule set and mock trades you enter by hand. Nothing in it touches your real accounts, P&L, Edge Score, imports or broker sync. You can keep up to 3 sandboxes, with up to 250 mock trades each, and reset or delete a scenario at any time.

The figures come from the trades you entered, so they are a hypothetical scenario, not real trading results and not financial advice. Where sandboxes have not been switched on for a workspace, the page says so.

Backtest: test an idea on a chart

Backtest lets you hand-enter hypothetical trades on a real chart, or run a preview simulation on a historical bar file you upload yourself. It is a Core feature and runs on your own data.

Which one to use

• Want to know if your real results would have cleared a firm’s rules: Rule simulator.

• Want to test a setup idea on historical bars: Backtest.
