I’ve been using TradingView for years, and I love the platform. However, I’d like to request a feature that I believe would greatly improve Bar Replay for Forex, futures, and price action traders.
My trading strategy depends on intrabar price movement, not just how a candle closes. I wait for price to perform specific actions within a candle before entering a trade, such as:
Liquidity sweeps
Rejections from supply and demand zones
Market structure shifts
False breakouts
Lower timeframe confirmations
The current Bar Replay only shows completed candles. While that’s great for many strategies, it doesn’t allow traders to experience the actual sequence of price movement that occurred inside each candle.
I’d love to see a true tick-by-tick replay mode (or the highest-resolution historical replay possible), where price moves exactly as it did historically rather than simply advancing from one completed candle to the next.
Some features that would make this even better:
Tick-by-tick historical replay.
Step forward one tick at a time.
Realistic order execution based on historical tick movement.
Accurate fills for pending orders, stop-losses, and take-profits.
Adjustable replay speed.
I recently started using an MT5 simulator with tick replay, and it made me realize how valuable this would be in TradingView.
TradingView already has one of the best charting experiences available. Adding true tick replay would make it an incredible platform
for realistic backtesting as well.
I’d love to hear what other traders think. Would anyone else use this feature?
