Question 1

Is the free plan really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 100%. The free plan gives you full backtesting features including bar-by-bar 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 major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) through Creem, our merchant of record. Debit and prepaid cards, PayPal and bank transfers are not supported. 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 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 to the Simulator API, 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 the full replay engine with no credit card required. Pro costs just $14.99/month — compared to FX Replay at $35/month and TradeZella Pro at $59/month. That saves $528.12/year versus TradeZella Pro with monthly billing, before tax, while adding trailing-drawdown challenge-rule 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 Pro ($59/month), using monthly billing before tax. Plus, TestMax's free plan includes replay on NQ and ES futures, EURUSD, and other Free-enabled instruments with two months of data — FX Replay's free tier is forex-only with tight session limits, and TradeZella has no free plan at all.
