Forex traders who trade by hand and want evidence before risking money; prop firm candidates preparing for a challenge
About BacktestFlow
BacktestFlow is a browser-based manual backtesting and trade-journaling application for forex traders. Users replay historical charts candle by candle, place market, stop, and limit orders, and record each closed trade with notes, tags, checklist items, and screenshots before replay continues. The product calculates trading statistics in units such as pips, percentages, money, and R, with breakdowns by instrument, session, and other trade attributes. A separate journal lets users record and review live trades. Flow Coach analyzes recorded trading patterns and includes significance checks. Paid plans add Monte Carlo simulations and a prop-firm challenge simulation. The service runs in a web browser and helps traders examine discretionary strategies and execution without writing code.

Traders Boutique
Traders Boutique is a web-based trading journal for retail and prop-firm traders who want to review activity across accounts and strategies. Users can enter trades manually or import CSV files, while supported connections import trade data from MetaTrader 5 and cTrader. The journal organizes trades with calendars, notes, screenshots, tags, strategy tracking and performance analytics. A portfolio view combines account results with foreign-exchange conversion, and traders can review risk measures and compare backtest with live results. The free tier supports up to 500 trades, one account and three strategies; paid plans are intended for larger histories and expanded analysis. A trade copier and TradingView webhook service are being tested as add-ons for routing trades or alerts across supported accounts, but are not part of the currently available journal.
