QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Your questions. Clear answers.

Answers to what people ask most before they start: getting set up, data coverage, saved records, what Challenge practice simulates and how the plans work.

Getting started

What is Tickrivo and who is it for?

Tickrivo is a web-based backtesting and prop firm challenge simulator. You replay forex, futures and crypto perpetual charts candle by candle, set entry, stop and target before you see the outcome, and rehearse challenge rules such as daily loss, maximum loss and profit target. Every trade is recorded in a journal for review. It is a simulation: no real money, no real orders and no funding.

How do I start my first session?

After signing in, choose Standard or Prop Challenge in the Backtest Lab. The wizard asks for a session name, starting balance and risk per trade, then you pick the market and date. The session is saved to your account automatically. You can follow the steps on the How it works page.

Is real money involved?

No. Every trade runs on historical data as a simulation; there is no real money, no real order and no broker connection. Results follow the session's cost and fill assumptions and do not represent real trade execution.

Is manual backtesting the same as automated strategy testing?

No. In Tickrivo you step through the candles and make the entry and risk decisions yourself. That is different from running a coded strategy over all history automatically, and it is better suited to measuring your decision-making and discipline.

Can I use Tickrivo on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It runs in any modern browser on phones and tablets, and you can install it as an app. Multi-chart layouts and heavy drawing work are more comfortable on a larger screen.

Charts and market data

Which markets can I backtest?

Session setup lists forex pairs, gold and silver, index and oil CFDs, six CME futures contracts and crypto USDT perpetual pairs. Not every symbol has data for every date; coverage depends on the data source and the period. Do not treat crypto perpetual data as the same series as spot data.

Which timeframes can I use?

From one minute to weekly: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours, daily and weekly. In a multi-chart layout each panel uses its own timeframe. The available range can vary with the session's data source.

Why are some dates unavailable?

Not every market has complete data for every year; coverage depends on the period the data source provides. Check that your chosen date range is available before you set up the session.

Can I open more than one chart?

Yes. Open the same market in 2, 3 or 4 panels, each on its own timeframe; the layout switch is in the toolbar above the chart. That way you can read direction on a higher timeframe and time the entry on a lower one.

Which indicators and drawing tools are available?

SMA, EMA, RSI, ATR, Bollinger and volume indicators plus session bands; level, trend line, Fibonacci and Long/Short risk-reward drawings. A limited Pine Script subset is supported for your own indicators, and the supported code is listed in the editor.

Can I use my own CSV data?

Yes. You can import CSV candle data in suitable formats, such as Dukascopy UTC OHLC and HistData Generic ASCII M1. The file's resolution and range decide how detailed the simulation can be.

Sessions, records and the journal

Do I keep my place when I close a session?

Yes. Your session is saved to your account automatically. Use Continue in My sessions to pick up from the candle where you stopped, even on another device. You can search and archive sessions.

Why can’t I jump back in time after opening a trade?

Once a trade is open in replay, jumping back in time is locked. That way you can’t change an entry after seeing the result, and the practice stays honest.

Where can I see my trades and notes?

The trading journal lists your trades with the reason note, tags and result. You can attach before and after screenshots to any trade and download the journal as CSV.

Can I back up or export my data?

Yes. From your dashboard you can download all sessions as a full backup and restore it as new sessions. You can also download the journal as CSV.

Can I delete my saved sessions?

Yes, you can delete your own records. Deleted records may not be recoverable, so keep anything you may still want to review.

Are costs included in backtest results?

Yes. The simulation takes cost assumptions such as commission, spread and slippage into account. When you read a result, review the cost, data and fill assumptions together.

Analytics, RivoScope and strategies

What do I see on the performance page?

Cumulative net result, trade distribution, R per trade, drawdown periods, profit concentration, strategy and pair comparisons and weekly progress. You can filter by strategy, session, pair and period.

What is RivoScope?

RivoScope is a review screen that finds habits such as plan adherence and stop behavior in your saved trades. It flags missing evidence separately and never draws conclusions from missing data. It is not a forecast or investment advice; it suggests a practice goal for your next trades and tracks your progress.

What is the Strategy Lab for?

You write your strategy as a set of rules, keep versions, attach it to a session, run a rules-based test and compare results per strategy. That way you always know which rule you tested in which session.

Prop Challenge

Is Prop Challenge a real prop firm account?

No. Prop Challenge is a simulation that lets you practice with a sample firm and its rules. It does not offer real funding, real money or admission to any prop firm; always check a firm’s current terms on its own website.

Which rules apply in a challenge practice?

Daily loss, max loss and profit target rules come from a profile: pick a preset (Practice or Conservative) or build a custom one. Package rules only apply to sessions you open afterwards. The Challenge control center shows the session’s rules and status in one place.

Plans and payment

What is the difference between monthly and yearly?

Both give the same Pro access; the difference is the billing period. Monthly is $13.99 and yearly is a single payment of $139. Yearly works out to about $11.58 a month; twelve monthly payments total $167.88, so yearly saves $28.88 (≈ 17.2%).

Which payment methods can I use?

Payments are not open yet; the pricing page shows the current status. When checkout opens, the payment methods and details will be listed there.

Account, privacy and support

How do I create an account?

Sign up with your name, email address and a password, then verify your email. You can also sign in with Google.

Are my records and data private?

Yes. Sessions, trades and notes are private to your account by default, and you never need to share your password or an API key. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Which languages are supported?

The interface is available in English and Turkish. Switch from the top menu and your choice is saved to your account. The legal documents (Terms, Privacy, Refund Policy, Risk Disclosure) are published in English.

Where do I open a support request?

Sign in and open one from My tickets in your dashboard. The Contact page explains what to include.
