Backtesting Builds Confidence. Confidence Builds Traders.
Great traders survive losing streaks. That takes confidence, and confidence comes from doing the work.
Automated backtesting gives you a report. Numbers on a screen. Manual backtesting puts you in the chair. You see the market unfold, make the calls, feel the drawdowns, and practice the discipline.
After hundreds of trades on historical data, something shifts. Your strategy stops being an idea and becomes something you’ve lived.
That’s what ChartLabs is built for. Not to keep you on our platform, but to prepare you for the market.
Everything You Need to Backtest. Nothing You Don't.
We stripped out everything that doesn't help you validate a strategy. What's left is clean, focused, and built for the work.
Step through historical data candle by candle. Place market, limit, or stop orders with stop loss and target. Build real feel for your strategy — not just numbers, but experience.
Features That Earn Their Place
Every feature in ChartLabs exists because it directly helps you validate or practice a strategy. Nothing more.
Find out which strategies move alike, which don't, and how they impact each other. Great for spotting overlap or building a balanced trading plan.

Isolate what works, remove what doesn't.

Review exactly what you saw when you decided.
Every trade saves a snapshot of your chart — drawings, annotations, everything. Review exactly what you saw when you made each decision. No other backtesting platform does this.
Zero Gamification. On Purpose.
No leaderboards
•No achievements
No streaks
•No badges
•No points
Gamification in backtesting tools rewards the wrong instincts — action over patience, screen time over preparation, frequency over quality. The psychology that makes gamification effective is the same psychology that makes traders overtrade and blow up accounts.
ChartLabs is a tool, not a toy. You open it to do focused work. When the work is done, you close it. We’re not trying to keep you logged in. We’re trying to make you a better trader.

Built by a Trader Who Got Fed Up
ChartLabs started because our founder, a full-time forex trader, couldn’t find a backtesting tool that just worked. Clean data, simple interface, fair price. Every tool he tried was missing at least one.
Most platforms are bloated with features nobody asked for, or they gamify everything so you stay logged in instead of actually getting better. And the ones that do work? They lock the good stuff behind a “Pro” tier that costs more than some people’s trading accounts.
So we built ChartLabs. One plan. $15/month. No games.
We trade with real money too. If the data is bad or the tools are slow, we feel it. So we built what we actually need and left out the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We've got answers. Learn more about how ChartLabs can enhance your trading experience. Reach out to us if you need further assistance.
What makes ChartLabs different from other backtesting platforms?
Three things. First, we're built specifically for manual backtesting — you practice your strategy candle by candle, building real confidence and discipline. Second, our historical data is cleaned through a systematic pipeline, so your backtest reflects realistic market conditions. Third, there's one plan at $15/month with everything included — no tiered pricing, no feature gates, no games.
Do you offer educational resources for beginners?
We have a growing knowledge base and a Discord community where you can ask questions and learn from other traders. ChartLabs is also designed to be simple enough that most traders can start backtesting within minutes of signing up.
Can I change my addons anytime?
Yes, you can add or remove addons at any time. We believe in flexibility without lock-ins. No long-term commitments, no cancellation fees.
Can I use ChartLabs to prepare for prop firm challenges?
Yes — many of our traders use ChartLabs specifically for this. You can backtest your strategy on the exact pairs and timeframes your prop firm requires, build a track record of your results with automatic chart snapshots, and prove to yourself that your edge holds up across hundreds of trades before risking evaluation capital. Confidence built through backtesting translates directly to discipline under pressure.
How accurate is the backtesting data?
We source tick data from Dukascopy and clean it through a systematic pipeline that removes price spikes, bad ticks, and low-liquidity anomalies. The cleaned data is converted to reliable 1-minute candles. This means your backtest reflects market conditions that actually existed — not data artifacts that would never occur in live trading.
Can I try ChartLabs before committing?
Yes. We offer a 14-day free trial with full access to everything — including all add-ons. No credit card required. After the trial, it's $15/month to continue. No feature gates during the trial — you get the complete platform from day one.
What markets and timeframes can I backtest?
ChartLabs supports forex, indices, crypto, and commodities — with up to 20 years of clean historical data for major forex pairs, ~15 years for indices, and several years for crypto and commodities. You can backtest on any timeframe from 1-minute candles up to monthly, and switch between them mid-session. All data is included in the $15/month plan — no premium data tiers.
Do I need programming experience to use ChartLabs?
Not at all. ChartLabs is built for manual backtesting — you step through historical data yourself and place trades just like you would in live markets. No coding, no scripting, no complicated setup. If you can read a chart and click a button, you can use ChartLabs.
Why are some features add-ons?
Our three add-ons — Custom Indicators, Economic Events, and Extra Symbols — are specialized tools that only some traders need. Most traders do fine without them. Rather than bundling everything and charging more, we keep the core platform at $15/month and let you add what you need for $2/month each.
