Using The TradingView Market Replay Feature

A simple 20 minute weekend routine to review your best and worst trades—and level up fast.

So, I have to hold my hands up here… I was slow to adopt market replay.

Love tech, love AI… but when it came to trade reviews, I stuck with printed charts and a pencil.

Old habits… (Still bitter about the time my data provider changed the Level 2 colours in 2010) 😬

But now?
I’m converted.

Market replay is a game changer.

It shows you things no journal or screenshot ever could:

  • What really happened before and after your entry
  • How price moved… not how you remember it 😁
  • Where the execution could’ve been better
  • And the one tweak that changes everything next time

If you want to explore market replay, here’s the framework I’ve found to be pretty good…

REPLAY FRAMEWORK

This weekend, replay 2 trades:

Your best and your worst.

(And “worst” doesn’t have to mean losing, it could be a rule break or missed exit.)

Fire up replay. I use TradingView, and FYI, Pepperstone’s running a free access deal for clients, existing and new, right now.

Then run through this checklist:

✅ What was I seeing at the time?
Narrate your thoughts before entry. What was the thesis, and what made you pull the trigger?

✅ What did price do just before/after?
Replay it slowly, did you miss any tells?

✅ Was the entry optimal?
Could you have waited? Entered better? Avoided it?

✅ What did I miss?
Context clues, time of day, VWAP, volume, HTF bias?

✅ How did I manage the trade?
Did you hold, size up/down, move stops?

✅ Where was the best exit?
Replay what happened after, where should/could you have reasonably closed?

✅ Was there a better variation of this idea?
Breakout vs pullback after breakout? Pinbar trap vs momentum ignition?

✅ Key takeaway?
One tweak to apply next time this play appears.

Try it this weekend, just 20 minutes.
Quick to do, massive ROI.

This is the kind of work most traders skip…
Which is exactly why it gives you the edge.
