Question 1

What is FXR Script?

Accepted Answer

FXR Script is FX Replay's purpose-built scripting language for creating custom trading indicators. It is designed to be simpler and more accessible than general programming languages, with syntax and logic focused specifically on trading concepts — price data, candle patterns, session timing, and chart visualization. You write your script directly inside FX Replay, test it live on charts in real time, and publish it to the community — all without leaving the platform or setting up any external development environment.

Question 2

How is FXR Script different from Pine Script?

Accepted Answer

Pine Script is TradingView's scripting language, designed for a broad range of automated alerts and strategies on TradingView charts. FXR Script is built exclusively for FX Replay's backtesting environment and focuses on indicator creation for the manual trading context. FXR Script integrates directly with FX Replay's replay engine, meaning your custom indicators update in real time as you replay historical sessions — something Pine Script cannot do inside FX Replay's native backtesting workflow.

Question 3

Do I need coding experience to build custom indicators?

Accepted Answer

Some basic programming familiarity helps, but FXR Script is intentionally simpler than general-purpose languages. FX Replay provides full official documentation, real examples, and an IntelliSense editor that suggests code completions as you type — reducing the barrier for traders with limited coding background. The community library of published indicators also gives you working examples to learn from and adapt.

Question 4

Can I share my custom indicators with other traders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FX Replay has a community indicator marketplace where you can publish your custom indicators, receive upvotes from other traders, and discover indicators built by the community. All published indicators go through a moderation process to maintain quality and safety. Browsing and adding community indicators to your charts is free for all FX Replay users.

Question 5

Can I use custom indicators during backtesting sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once you build or add a custom indicator from the community library, it integrates directly into your replay sessions just like a standard indicator. Your custom tools are available on every chart, across every asset and timeframe, during all backtesting sessions.

Question 6

Is building custom indicators available on the free plan?

Accepted Answer

FXR Script and custom indicator building are accessible to users on FX Replay. Check the current pricing page for plan-specific access details, as feature availability may vary between Free, Intermediate, and Pro tiers.

Question 7

Can I use ChatGPT to help write FXR Script indicators?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can use ChatGPT alongside FX Replay's official FXR Script documentation to get help writing or debugging your indicators. This combination — AI assistance plus platform-specific documentation — is a fast way to learn FXR Script and build your first indicator even with limited coding experience.
