Time controls

Time control is the heart of StrategyTune. You can replay at anywhere from real-time pace to fifty thousand times faster, jump anywhere in history, and switch chart intervals on the fly. None of these reset your session — your trades and P&L carry straight through, and the replay just adjusts and keeps going.

Speed

Speed is a discrete ladder of fifteen steps:

1× · 2× · 5× · 10× · 20× · 50× · 100× · 200× · 500× · 1,000× · 2,000× · 5,000× · 10,000× · 20,000× · 50,000×

New replays start at 200× by default.

• Speed selector: dropdown in the controls bar, or use the +/- buttons.
• Hotkeys: ↑ / ↓ step the ladder up / down.
• Change speed any time — it takes effect immediately, with no rewind and no change to your place in time.

Chart interval

The chart can be drawn at any of these intervals:

1m · 3m · 5m · 15m · 30m · 1h · 4h · 1D

Default is 15m. Changing the interval changes how candles are drawn, and the replay realigns to the bar your current moment falls in — you stay at essentially the same point in time. Your trades and P&L are interval-independent: fills are evaluated against the recorded data, not against candles of any particular size. Indicator values, on the other hand, are computed over the chart's bars — they naturally depend on the interval you're viewing. Shift+↑ / Shift+↓ step the interval up / down.

Jumping in time

The timeline — the strip below the chart — is how you jump: click anywhere on it or drag to scrub, and the timeline page covers the rest. This is how you do "what would have happened if I'd entered here" — drop the playhead on a time, place the trade, hit Play.

Space toggles play / pause — from a fresh load, it presses Play. The full shortcut table lives on Keyboard shortcuts — it's also in the app under Settings → App → Hotkeys.
