The MT5 Strategy Tester is designed to backtest automated strategies. It does not provide the same manual, chart-based replay workflow as Timeless Charts.
Situations you meet every session, and how Timeless Charts handles them.
Chart construction, market analysis, trade execution, simulation and performance review are parts of a single workflow, not separate products.
Every tool works on the same custom bars, charts and settings.
Practice with the charts, tools and trade panel you use for real.
Place and manage orders on Renko, Range, Seconds or footprint charts.
Real, demo, virtual account and replay sessions land in the same performance reports.
One purchase covers the entire workflow — custom charts, order flow, trading, replay and reports. Assembling the same toolkit from separate MT5 tools means a separate purchase and installation for every one of them.

Currently, Timeless Charts is available in English only. Support for additional languages is planned for future updates.
Timeless Charts requires access to historical tick data. Most MT5 brokers provide this data, but availability ultimately depends on the broker. If a chart does not load as expected, try again after a few hours or days, as the broker's servers may be undergoing maintenance or data synchronization. You can also verify that historical tick data is available for the symbol, try a different instrument, or test the application using another broker account.
Not necessarily. Timeless Charts requires access to historical tick data and may not be compatible with custom symbols generated from external data sources or symbols that provide only OHLC data without underlying tick history. Compatibility depends on how the custom symbol data is generated and made available within MT5.
Yes. It can be used with any symbol that provides sufficient historical tick data through MT5, including Forex, Futures, Indices, Commodities, Stocks and Cryptocurrencies, subject to broker data availability.
Yes, on forex symbols that provide sufficient historical tick data. How detailed the order flow is depends on the volume data your broker provides, and real volume and tick volume are not the same thing.
No. Timeless Charts is available only for MetaTrader 5.
No. It extends the MetaTrader 5 desktop with custom charts, order flow analysis, visual trade management and market replay.
No. Timeless Charts relies on a custom interactive interface and historical tick data processing, which are not fully available in the Strategy Tester environment.
No. Timeless Charts is designed as a self-contained trading and analysis environment and does not provide data feeds for external Expert Advisors or indicators. Instead, it includes integrated indicators, drawing tools, trading features and analytical tools within the application.
No. The Strategy Tester is built to backtest automated strategies (Expert Advisors). It doesn't let you draw, manage indicators or place and manage orders manually while it runs, so it is not a market replay. Market Replay in Timeless Charts runs independently of the Strategy Tester.
No. They are simulated, so no orders go to your broker.
