If you're new to price action trading or want to sharpen your skills, but without risking your real money, this article is for you.
Learning price action doesn’t have to be expensive. In fact, you can become confident and consistent by using these 3 simple practice methods. All it takes is time, focus, and consistency.
1. Use the Chart Replay Tool on TradingView
This is one of the best tools out there to practice real-time decision-making, but in a safe environment.
With TradingView’s Bar Replay tool, you can:
Go back to any past date.
Hide what happens next.
Analyse price action candle by candle.
Practice entering and exiting trades just like you would in real time.
It’s like a simulator — you can pause, play, and learn how price behaves without the fear of loss.
2. Daily Backtesting with 5–10 Setups
Backtesting means checking how your trading setup or strategy would have worked in the past.
Pick one setup (e.g., pin bar at support), and every day:
Open past charts.
Find 5–10 setups where that condition appeared.
Study what happened next.
Did the price move in your favour? Did it fail?
Backtesting helps you build confidence and remove doubt.
The more you backtest, the more trust you build in your system.
3. Screenshot + Journal Practice
If you're not live-trading yet, no problem.
You can still build trading experience by using screenshots and journaling.
Every day:
Take screenshots of 2–3 interesting charts or setups.
Write your analysis — “Why would I buy or sell here?”
At the end of the day, review what actually happened.
This improves your decision-making, sharpens your eye for setups, and builds a habit of structured thinking — all without spending a single rupee.
Final Words:
You don’t need real money to become a real trader.
What you need is real practice.
If you do these 3 things consistently:
✅ Replay charts like a game
✅ Backtest daily
✅ Journal every setup…
…you’ll build strong confidence and solid skills — before you ever risk capital.
