Futures backtesting for ES, NQ and more.
Replay six CME Group contracts and four index and oil CFDs on historical charts. Plan the trade before the candle, then check your risk against prop challenge limits.
Which futures can you replay?
- E-mini S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ)
- Dow (YM) and Russell 2000 (RTY)
- Crude oil (CL) and gold (GC)
- Index and oil CFDs: S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow and WTI
How much intraday history is there?
CME contract data comes from a public chart source with a fixed depth: about 30 days of 1-minute bars, about 60 days of 2 to 30-minute bars, about 2 years of hourly bars and decades of daily bars. The session wizard shows what is available.
For longer intraday history on the indices and oil, use the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow and WTI CFDs, which have a longer minute-level archive.

Futures prop challenge practice
Futures evaluations mostly come down to daily loss and drawdown rules. Set your profit target, daily loss limit, total loss limit, reset time and time zone; Guardian blocks any order whose stop would break them.
Tickrivo’s max loss limit is static: it is fixed from the starting balance. If your firm uses a trailing or end-of-day drawdown, practice with a tighter limit. See the prop challenge guide.
Other markets
Your questions. Clear answers.
Can I backtest ES and NQ on 1-minute charts?
Yes, within the source's depth: roughly the last 30 days at 1 minute and about 60 days at 2 to 30 minutes. For older intraday S&P 500 or Nasdaq history, use the S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100 CFD.
Does Tickrivo simulate a trailing drawdown?
Not yet. The max loss limit is static, fixed from the starting balance. If your firm uses a trailing drawdown, use a tighter limit in practice.
Is this a real futures account?
No. Every trade is a simulation on historical data; no orders reach a broker or an exchange.
