Play Back

Ensign Windows Play Back tool

'Practice makes perfect', so the saying goes. A valuable teaching mechanism has always been practice, practice, and more practice. Ensign Windows has a powerful feature called 'Play Back' that helps you practice your trading skills with real market data. You are invited to download Ensign Windows and discover what Play Back can do for you. A live data-feed is not required to use this feature.

The Play Back feature allows you to open a chart and watch the tick-by-tick trading that occurred for a symbol on a specified day. The file can be Played anytime, just like a tape recorder can play its recordings. The played file will duplicate the trading day in actual time as if you were trading the markets in real-time. You can optionally increase the Play Back speed up to 10 times faster than the actual speed. This feature is a fantastic tool that allows you to practice your trading skills with real market data.

There are 2 versions of the Play Back feature (Basic and Advanced). The easiest way to get started with Play Back is to use the Basic version. Select Set-Up | Play Back Basic from the menu and then choose a Play Back file from the drop-down list box. Select a Play Back speed (1x, 2x, 4x, or 10x). Click the Play Back button to start the Play Back session. A chart will open, and the selected Play Back day will start to update on the chart. It's that easy !!
