Recording a session

How can you record price action on a pair for a hour or so and play it back later?

Use Metatrader.

After the session is done - just go through the session bar by bar. You can do this by clicking on the chart and dragging it back to the start of the session - then pressing f12 - each time you press it one more bar will appear until you get to the end of the chart.

Or

Use Metatraders "visual mode" in the strategy test - and it will play the whole chart back for you.

Neither of those options shows me what the indicators where doing in real time.

One of the bad things about candle by candle backtest is you do not get a real feel for what the intidators where showing you during the formation of a candle.

I thought maybe there was a way to record a few hours and play it back.

Maybe just stick a camera in front of the monitor.

Lonespruce`s suggestion is good but the problem is that you can not watch the actual formation of indicators especially ma`s this way.
Once the ma`s are laid down it is easy to see where price is going.
That is why all ma systems look great with backward obsevation.
I like to use a program called camstudio which will record what ever is happening on your monitor screen.
Do a google on it if you are interested.
It`s a great software.

I use SnagIt with timed captures. Afterwards, just open your pictures, put them in slideshow mode and observe!

Google for screen recording. The best is ZD soft - ZD screen recorder. You will see it like a video.
