If you’re jumping into an FXR Battle, every second and decision counts. It’s not just about strategy—it’s about speed, precision, and execution under pressure. Here are the must-know trading hacks to give you a real edge inside FX Replay Battles.

Master the Hotkeys That Actually Matter

Not all hotkeys are created equal. When the pressure’s on, these two will save you clicks—and seconds:

Ctrl + Spacebar

Print the next candle instantly. Perfect for those using bar-by-bar price action or waiting on confirmation candles. No more rapid clicking.

ALT + M or B or N

These hotkeys will help you place an order quicker and more efficiently. Here's how to use them:

1. Select the position tool and place it on the chart first
2. Make sure the tool is selected and click one of the hotkeys depending on which type of order you want to place
   1. ALT + M = Market Order
   2. ALT + B = Limit Order
   3. ALT + N = Stop Order

Now your position will automatically calculate your risk based on the tool and you'll be able to move faster than your competition.

Respect the Risk Limits—or Get Wrecked

FXR Battles usually come with strict drawdown limits (e.g. 10%). That means poor risk control can wipe you out fast.

Here's the math:

If you risk 5% on a single trade and take two losses, you're already done. That’s why many top traders keep it tight and manage their risk. It gives you more room to operate—and more chances to recover.

Treat risk limits like hard walls. Don’t test them. Let them be a guide for how much you should risk to give you the best opportunity to win.

Pick the Right Tool for Execution

Execution is where strategies come to life. FX Replay gives you two clean options:

Quick Buy/Sell Buttons

Good for speed. Just remember: they use manual lots / contracts, so if your sizing’s off (IE: you accidentally put in 10 instead of 1), you could over-leverage without meaning to.

Long/Short Drawing Tool + Place Order

This is where precision lives. Use it to define your entry, stop, and desired risk percentage. FX Replay does the math and places the order. No guessing, no calculating in a rush.

When accuracy matters more than speed, this is your go-to.

Trade Like a Sniper, Not a Hero

These challenges aren’t marathons. They’re short sprints. You don’t need to hit home runs—just stack up base hits.

• Go for 1R–3R trades.
• Lock in small wins, and let the data compound.
• Leave runners if you’ve got a great entry—partial profits + runner = smart scaling.

Discipline > Drama.

Favorite Your Tools for Fast Access

No one wants to hunt for tools mid-session. Here’s the move:

• Click the star next to your most-used drawing tools to favorite them.
• They’ll show up at the top of your list, always ready.

This simple tweak cuts down friction and helps you stay focused when seconds matter.

TLDR: FXR Battle Survival Kit

• Use Ctrl + Spacebar and Alt + 1 to fly through candles and toggle playback.
• Stay under 2% risk per trade to protect your capital.
• Use precise order tools to size correctly.
• Aim for 1R–2R wins and scale smartly.
• Favorite tools you actually use to save clicks.

FXR Battles are all about execution. These hacks keep you faster, sharper, and more focused—so you can trade with confidence and control.
