Testing various market scenarios

Feature Request

There are various market scenarios that are problematic/profitable for everyone. :

  • Higher Highs and Higher Lows

  • Lower Highs and Lower Lows

  • Equal Highs and Equal Lows

  • Lower Highs and Higher Lows

  • Higher Highs and Lower Lows

If there is a way to practice trading in these conditions, it will help me and I think all traders a lot. This can be either simulated or based on past market conditions.

The reason I’m asking this is, while I make profits in one condition, I lose all my profit in some other market condition. By the time I realize the pattern, the account is wiped out.

If I can learn to test these conditions separately and understand as it appears, it will help me avoid it or profit from it with practice.

I hope I’m asking the right thing and God alone knows if this right.

If you can create this, I think it will be really helpful for day traders like me.

Thanks.

How does this impact your experience?

    Hi @User! Your idea is really interesting and makes a lot of sense.
    Being able to recognize and practice trading in different market structures like Higher Highs/Lows, Lower Highs/Lows, or Equal Highs/Lows would definitely help traders improve consistency and avoid unexpected losses.

    At the moment, the Previous Levels indicator can partly support this — it highlights important price levels (previous day/week/month highs and lows) that often show whether the market continues trending or stays in a range. This helps in identifying scenarios like equal highs/lows or trend continuation around those levels.

    Also, since FTO already has backtesting on historical data, you can use it to test your strategy under different conditions and see how it performs in uptrends, downtrends, or consolidation phases.

    What you’re suggesting goes a step further — more like a dedicated training mode focused only on specific market structures. That’s a very valuable idea, and we’ll explore if it’s possible to implement something along those lines.

    Thanks a lot for sharing this suggestion!
