I have a question and i wonder if somebody can answer it.

I want to do sim trading and i was wondering if i need to wait for the market to open to be bale to sim trade?

For an example its saturday, can i sim trade? or do i need to wait for the market to open?

Also i want to trade with real time data feed and for this i need to wait for the market to open? but if i trade with delayed data feed can i sim trade when the market is closed?

i want to be able to replay the market session but still be able to put some trades on in other words do sim trading.

Just have one more question.

I can also buy real time data feed and with this i can trade both in realtime when The market is Open but also when The market is closed for an exemple on a saturday using The replay function. ?


And also i was wondering if i always need to use replay function if i want to trade on sturdays when The market is closed without replay function i cant do this.

Yes. The only way to trade when the Market is closed is using replay.
