Market Replay
Market replay is a powerful feature in ChartSpire that allows you to review historical price movements in a controlled manner. This feature is particularly useful for backtesting trading strategies, studying market behavior, and educational purposes.
Activating Replay Mode
To activate the market replay feature in ChartSpire:
- Navigate to the chart you want to replay
- Click on the Replay button in the top toolbar (icon showing a play symbol)
- A replay control modal will appear with playback controls
- Select a point on the chart where you want to start the replay from (this defines the starting candlestick)
- Use the play controls to start the replay
Note: When replay mode is active, real-time data updates are temporarily suspended for the chart being replayed.
Replay Controls and Settings
The replay control panel provides several options to control how the historical data is replayed:
Basic Controls
- Play/Pause Button: Start or pause the replay of candlestick data
- Skip Button (>>): Skip to the end of the available data
- Close Button: Exit replay mode and return to real-time chart viewing
Speed Settings
You can adjust how quickly the candlesticks are replayed using the speed dropdown menu. Available options:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| 1x | 1 update per 1 second (default) |
| 0.5x | 1 update per 2 seconds |
| 0.3x | 1 update per 3 seconds |
| 0.2x | 1 update per 5 seconds |
| 0.1x | 1 update per 10 seconds |
Slower settings allow for more detailed analysis of market movements, while faster settings are useful for quickly scanning through larger periods.
