Paper Trading

Paper Trading lets you practice buying and selling instruments with a simulated account -- same execution logic as real trading but with no risk.

Getting Started

  1. Open the Trading Hub
  2. Select Paper Trading as your broker
  3. Create an account
  4. Start trading immediately with a simulated balance

How It Works

  • Market orders fill at the current market price
  • Limit orders fill when the market reaches your limit price
  • Stop orders trigger when the market reaches your stop price
  • P&L is tracked in real-time based on live market data
