Question 1

Is the free plan really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 100%. The free plan gives you full backtesting features including real-time market replay, all order types, 40+ drawing tools, trade analytics, journal, and equity curve tracking. It includes the last 2 months of data and is ad-supported. No credit card required to sign up.

Question 2

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. There are no contracts or commitments. You can cancel your Pro subscription at any time from your account settings and you will retain access through the end of your billing period.

Question 3

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit and debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through Creem, our merchant of record. All plans are billed in USD; local taxes are handled automatically at checkout.

Question 4

What's included in Pro?

Accepted Answer

Pro unlocks unlimited historical data (not just 2 months), removes all ads, and adds multi-chart layouts (up to 4 synced charts) plus Prop Firm Challenge Mode with drawdown rules, daily loss limits, and profit target tracking. You also get the Algo Playground for writing and backtesting Python trading strategies, API access with TopStep-compatible endpoints, PDF report export, and priority support.

Question 5

What is the cheapest trading backtesting platform?

Accepted Answer

TestMax is one of the most affordable backtesting platforms available. The free plan includes full features with no credit card required. Pro costs just $14.99/month — compared to FX Replay at $35/month and TradeZella at $49/month. That saves you up to $400/year while getting features neither offers, like trailing-drawdown prop firm simulation and Python algo backtesting.

Question 6

Is TestMax cheaper than FX Replay and TradeZella?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TestMax Pro at $14.99/month is significantly cheaper than FX Replay ($35/month) and TradeZella ($49/month). Plus, TestMax's free plan includes futures replay and two months of data — FX Replay's free tier is forex-only with tight session limits, and TradeZella has no free plan at all.
