FAQ

Common questions about the simulator

Is NQ Replay really free?+

Yes. The full simulator — 10+ years of 1-minute NQ and MNQ data, ICT overlays, simulated trades, journal — is free to use in the browser. No download, no credit card, no trial timer.

What is a trading simulator?+

A trading simulator replays historical market data so you can place simulated orders and see the outcome as if the market were live. It builds pattern recognition and rehearses risk discipline with zero capital at stake.

Which market does NQ Replay cover?+

Nasdaq 100 futures — the CME contracts NQ and MNQ. Data is 1-minute OHLCV covering both regular and extended hours, going back more than a decade.

Can I practice ICT setups on NQ Replay?+

Yes — the platform is built for ICT practice. Killzones, first Fair Value Gap of the session, Opening Range Gap, PDH/PDL and liquidity levels are drawn automatically on every replay.

How is this different from a paper-trading account?+

Paper trading runs at live speed on today's market. A simulator lets you replay any historical session at 1x, faster, or bar-by-bar — so you can rehearse a specific setup dozens of times in an hour instead of waiting weeks for it to reappear live.

Do I need to install anything?+

No. NQ Replay runs entirely in the browser on desktop, iPad and mobile. There is no download, no plugin and no NinjaTrader / MetaTrader dependency.
