Start free, upgrade only when you're ready. Same engine, more variables.
The full engine on one ready-made game: 3 months of history (Feb 22 – May 23, 2022), standard conditions, fixed 10% drawdown.
The same engine, on your own games: any dates across 15+ years, your instruments, your broker's conditions.
Both plans run on the same engine. Prepaid unlocks the variables serious strategy testing needs.

If something here is unclear or missing, email support@forexthrive.com — we update this list when traders ask.
No. ForexThrive is prepaid — buy access in fixed blocks, never automatic recurring billing. When the block ends, the simulator simply stops charging until you choose to top up. Cancel by doing nothing.
If something is broken on our end, yes — email support@forexthrive.com within 14 days and we'll refund unused access. Change-of-mind refunds aren't offered, which is why we keep a free tier so you can try before you buy.
Any broker. You configure leverage, spread, commission, and slippage to match your real broker exactly. Backtests are only as honest as the conditions you set, and we make those settings transparent.
Credit/debit cards via our payment provider, plus PayPal. We never store card details — payments are tokenized.
Yes, on both plans. CSV exports of trade history plus account equity curves.
Nothing is deleted. Every backtesting game, trade, and chart drawing stays on your account. The app always opens on the last game you had loaded, and you can keep trading it with the full engine — if its end date is in the future, it keeps rolling into forward testing — until it reaches that end date or hits its max-drawdown limit (game over). What pauses is switching: opening your other saved games, creating new ones, and changing the current game's settings come back as soon as you top up again.
The free tier is the trial — same engine, one predefined game covering 3 months of history (Feb 22 – May 23, 2022) with a 10% drawdown ceiling. If you can validate a strategy under those constraints, the upgrade decision becomes obvious.
No. We're a backtesting tool, not a signal service. Your strategies stay yours — we don't see them, share them, or sell them.
Validate one strategy on three months of real data. If the equity curve makes sense, upgrade. If not, you've learned something for free.
