Getting started

What Zinuto is, who it is for, and how to think about simulated practice before installing it.

Is Zinuto stock simulation and stock review software?Yes. Start with the bundled WIKI EOD equity sample or import compatible stock history. Replay the chart one bar at a time, record simulated decisions, and open the archive afterward. Every order stays inside Zinuto.Read guideWhat is the difference between simulated trading and historical replay?Simulated trading describes the action: no real-money order is sent. Historical replay describes the data and timing: you work on past bars without seeing the next ones. Zinuto uses simulated actions inside a historical replay, then saves the session for review.Read guideHow is historical replay different from paper trading?Historical replay uses a past market window and hides the bars that come next. Paper trading usually follows the current market as it unfolds. Replay lets you return to a comparable setup without waiting for it to appear again.Read guideDoes Zinuto include sample market data?Yes. The app includes local WIKI EOD equity and HistData FX samples, with source, preparation, checksum, and rights records. They let you open a replay before importing your own files. The samples are fixed training material, not live data or a recommendation.Read guideWho is Zinuto for?Zinuto suits people who want to practise market decisions on a desktop, keep the record locally, and review it later. It is especially useful if you already have compatible historical data or want to work with the bundled samples. If you need live execution, broker integration, or investment recommendations, it is the wrong tool.Read guide

Training and review

Use Free Replay, notes, archives, Flash Decision, and Crisis Survival to review the decisions you actually made.

Can Zinuto be used for futures review?Yes, if you import compatible futures history that you have the right to use. Zinuto replays the data locally and keeps the resulting practice record. It does not connect a futures broker or send an order.Read guideCan Zinuto be used for cryptocurrency review?Yes, with compatible crypto history that you have permission to use. Import it as local training data, replay the chart, and review the record afterward. Zinuto does not execute on an exchange or provide trading signals.Read guideCan Zinuto be used for bitcoin review?Yes. Import compatible BTC history as local training material and replay it before later candles are visible. Zinuto records the simulated session for review. It does not access a wallet, execute on an exchange, or predict price.Read guideCan Zinuto be used for forex review?Yes. Use the bundled HistData FX sample or import compatible FX history. You can replay simulated entries and exits, then inspect the finished session. Zinuto does not connect a broker or supply live quotes.Read guideWhat is K-line replay training?It means advancing through historical candles while the later chart stays hidden. You record the decision at the time, then compare it with what happened next. The value is the dated decision trail, not a forecast.Read guideWhat is the difference between trading review and backtesting?A backtest runs saved indicators and the batch's conditions across a sample pool, then reports local metrics, fills, charts, and equity curves. Review diagnostics examines decisions already made in Free Replay, including margin and position safety and the retained archive. Challenge results and notes remain in their own workspaces. None of these results predicts the future.Read guideWhat is historical market replay?Historical replay reveals past market data in sequence while keeping the later bars hidden. You decide with only the information that would have been available at that point, then reveal the next bars and continue.Read guideWhat is trading review in Zinuto?In Zinuto, review means inspecting the record left by Free Replay. Review diagnostics summarizes results and safety measures, while the archive opens the retained chart, simulated trades, and environment details. Notes stays separate so you can organize the context you chose to write down.Read guideHow do Zinuto's two challenge modes differ?Flash Decision asks for a long, short, or observe call before the countdown ends. Crisis Survival starts with a losing position and limited cash, then lets you buy, sell, or advance the next bar. Its settlement grades final assets and recovery quality.Read guideWhat is challenge training in Zinuto?Challenge training gives you a narrower task and firmer rules than Free Replay. Repeat the same mode, then use Challenge stats to compare completion and results over time. The score belongs to the practice record and is not a market prediction.Read guideWhat are custom indicators in Zinuto?They are chart calculations that you define, compile, preview, and save locally. A saved indicator can be reused in replay or selected for a backtest batch. Zinuto shows the output; you decide what it means.Read guideHow do notes support trading review in Zinuto?A note can preserve the reason you wrote before the outcome was visible. Later, compare that reason with the archived chart and result instead of reconstructing the decision from memory. Notes created from a training record keep readable context, then live in the separate Notes workspace.Read guideWhat are behavior diagnostics in Zinuto?Open the Behavior view in Review diagnostics and choose a practice window. It summarizes margin and position safety, including the dangerous-position rate, lowest safety buffer, and margin breaches. Safety zones and the worst sessions point you back to records worth inspecting.Read guideWhat is the Free Replay archive in Zinuto?It is the list of completed Free Replay sessions inside Review diagnostics. Open a retained item to inspect its chart, simulated trades, and environment details. Challenge sessions are not mixed into this list; their results stay in Challenge stats. Retention settings may remove old detail.Read guide

Local market data

What data Zinuto can use, what stays on your device, and what you should prepare before importing files.

What market data can Zinuto import?You can import CSV, JSON, Parquet, or an XLSX file with one worksheet. Each record needs date or time plus open, high, low, and close; volume is optional and becomes 0 when absent. Put one instrument in each file and one file format in each import folder. Base intervals are 1m, 5m, 1h, and 1d.Read guideHow does local market data visualization work in Zinuto?After a successful import, eligible local bars become chart data for replay and challenges. The same local records support later review. Zinuto shows the price series, interval, instrument, and training context needed to understand each session.Read guide

Limits and responsibility

Important limits around live orders, advice, data permissions, practice data, and interpreting training results.

Does Zinuto provide real-time market data or trading signals?No. Zinuto works with historical data, not a live quote feed or trading signals. You can import compatible files or explicitly run a local connector for supported mainland China equities and indexes, or Binance and OKX spot history. You review those files before importing them. Zinuto never connects a wallet or sends an order.Read guideDoes Zinuto place real market orders?No. Buy, sell, hold, long, and short only change the current training session and its local record. Zinuto has no route to a broker or exchange, so those actions cannot become market orders.Read guideCan simulated trading results predict real performance?No. A simulation can show how you behaved under its data and assumptions. It cannot reproduce every part of a real market, including liquidity, slippage, costs, and the pressure of real money. Treat the result as material for review, not an estimate of future returns.Read guideWho is responsible for imported market data permissions?You are. Before importing or running a connector, confirm that you may use and store the data for your purpose. Export and redistribution may have different terms. Zinuto supplies local tools, not a license from an exchange or data vendor. Bundled samples include their own rights records.Read guide
