Getting started

How is historical replay different from paper trading?

First, the short version

Historical replay lets you practice on a past market window while hiding what happens next. Paper trading usually follows the current market. Replay is useful when you want repeatable scenarios and faster feedback.

Who this is for

Choose replay when you want to repeat setups, compress time, or compare the same scenario after changing your decision rule.

What to take away

  • Replay is scenario practice; paper trading is live-market rehearsal.
  • Repeatability is the main benefit of replay.

How Zinuto helps

Pick a window

Zinuto lets you train on defined historical windows instead of waiting for the live market.

Replay with notes

Decisions and notes stay attached to the session so you can compare attempts.

What to watch

  • Replay still uses historical data; it does not recreate live liquidity.
  • A familiar scenario may feel easier after repetition; keep that in mind.

Next step

  • Use replay for pattern practice, then review whether your rule stayed consistent.
  • Do not treat repeated replay wins as live-market proof.

Try the training loop with your own pace

Use Zinuto when you want a local desktop space for replay, notes, review, indicators, and market data you can inspect afterward.
