How to paper trade a past trading day
Start a market replay on the day you want and trade it as the bars play forward. The last 5 trading days need no account, and a free account goes back 30 weekdays.
Example: NVDA, Oct 8, a break above the first 15-minute high, replayed on 1-minute bars with no account.

Questions
Before you try it.
How do I paper trade a past day?
Open the chart, pick the symbol, then start a market replay on the date you want with 1-minute bars. Buy or sell from the replay bar, drag the position line up for a target and down for a stop, and play the day forward.
Do I need an account?
No. You can replay any of the last 5 trading days without one. A free account replays any day from the last 30 weekdays and saves your trades.
Is the money real?
No. Replay trades use practice money and never reach a broker.
Which markets can I replay?
US stocks and ETFs.
