You'll know if your edge is real
Deflated Sharpe (DSR), Monte-Carlo risk of ruin and walk-forward tell you whether a strategy survives out-of-sample — or is overfit. No other replay tool does this.
Tick-by-tick replay on real data
Price moves inside each candle, with tick-precision fills, on genuine Dukascopy M1 data across 18 markets (forex, indices, metals, energy, crypto).
Ready for your prop firm evaluation
Evaluation simulator (FTMO, Topstep…), discipline score and risk management: train to pass the challenge before paying the fee.
In all fairness: when Soft4FX may suit you better
Soft4FX benefits from a one-time license and deep MT4 integration — ideal if you're already invested in the MetaTrader ecosystem and MT4 historical tick data. GetBacktest is for traders who want web, multi-asset and statistical rigor.
