Offline Trading Simulator – Free Software for Forex and other Markets

Offline Trading Simulator is free software to practice trading when the market is closed. The software emulates the real market by rendering historical price data from a file on your computer. This doesn’t require an Internet connection.

Most importantly, offline you can practice any time you like. Especially on weekends when the market is closed and any demo account is useless!

Our Trading Simulator models the market with 100% accuracy. This is because it only uses real tick-by-tick market data. It never generates the ticks by interpolating the data from M1 bars.

In addition, the Simulator renders the ticks strictly according to their original timestamps – with up to 1 ms accuracy.

The Offline Simulator comes with an inbuilt sample of market data. So, you can try the software in just seconds after you install it.

The inbuilt file has about 300K ticks of EUR/USD (2 full trading days).

The calendar on the Data tab shows you the time interval of the test data. A blue highlight indicates the start date.

You can select a date/time when to start your test. For your convenience, standard trading sessions (US, Europe, Asia) are available.

To start the test, click on the green Play button on the toolbar. If you don’t change the default selection, the test will start from the 1st tick in the file.

The Simulator will switch to the Simulation tab.

Offline Trading Simulator vs Online Demo

There are several important advantages of using offline Simulator compared to practicing in the live market.

First, the offline Simulator provides pause/resume functionality. Which is obviously impossible to have on an online demo account.

Why would we need putting the data feed on hold?

This helps to manage your time. Take breaks when you want – independent on the market situation, as is the case with any Demo account.

More importantly, you don’t have to wait for market action is you use offline Simulator. Whereas on a Demo account you don’t have any choice if the market is not moving anywhere for some time.

Furthermore, offline Simulator can introduce a configurable trading server delay. It is possible as all the price data is available locally. For example, you can get a feel how to trade over a slow Internet connection.
