Rehearse Before You Risk
Rehearsal is the part of this nobody tries to sell you, and it is free twice over.
Two tools do it. One replays candles that already happened with the ending taken away. The other lets you place orders that have nothing behind them.
An afternoon of stepping through old candles puts more chart in front of you than a season of watching new ones arrive.
Both sit on the free plan, and one of them carries a limit that lands in exactly the right place.
The tool hides the ending
Bar Replay rewinds the chart to a date you choose and takes away everything after it. From there you press play, or step forward one candle at a time.
Its button sits on the top panel and looks like a rewind symbol. Inside it there is a Random bar control, which drops you somewhere on the chart you did not pick yourself.
Use that one. Choosing a date yourself means choosing a stretch you already half remember, and hindsight arrives without asking permission.
The candles stop dead at the date that was chosen, and the months after it are still labelled along the bottom with nothing standing under them. Charts by TradingView.
The right-hand side of the chart is genuinely gone. Nothing brings it back except stepping forward, the way it arrived the first time.
An afternoon buys a season
Here is the limit, and it is the useful kind. On the free plan replay covers daily candles and anything slower than that, so replaying a five-minute chart wants a paid plan.
Which suits this course exactly, because the daily chart is the one you have already built. The free tier rehearses the method it teaches and stops short of the ones it does not.
So count what an evening of that is worth. Watched live, a daily chart hands you one candle per weekday and then asks you to go away.
Step through two hundred of them in a sitting and you have covered nine months in an evening.
Move the handle to whatever an evening realistically holds. The ratio is the argument, and a ratio is the thing a sentence never makes anybody believe.
Then trade it with nothing in it
Paper trading is a simulated account traded straight from the chart, with no broker and nothing deposited. The Trade button sits in the top right corner, Paper Trading is the first thing under it, and the panel opens along the bottom.
An evening of replay on a stretch you did not choose
A written note, made before you step forward, saying where you would enter and where the stop would sit
Three paper trades held the way the method asks, which runs to weeks rather than an evening
What rehearsal will not give you
Two limits, and neither is small. You know roughly which era you are looking at, so hindsight leaks in. And a replay reproduces nothing about how it feels when the money is yours.
Reading a chart you have never seen before
Whether your own rules actually produce a decision
What a level looks like on the day it fails
What waiting three weeks does to your patience
What a run of losses does to your judgement
Whether you follow the rule at the moment it costs you
the book costs the free part of this at roughly three months of evenings, and that is its arithmetic rather than a promise. Which leaves one question this course will not answer. How many rehearsals is your honest number, before you would trust a rule you wrote down?
Everything in this lesson costs time and nothing else, which makes it the cheapest thing here and the first thing beginners skip.
Where these facts come from
That the replay tool covers daily and slower candles on the free plan, that simulated trading is available on every plan, and where both controls sit were read off the platform's own pricing page and help centre on the day this was written. All of it can change. The rehearsal sequence and the three-month figure come from the book and describe time rather than results.
