Paper/Live Trading

Paper Trading vs Live Trading

Every strategy starts in paper mode signals evaluate identically to live but trades are logged in a simulated ledger with no real money at risk. Paper P&L and win rate are tracked separately from live stats. Snapshots still accumulate in paper mode, so you're building ML training data the whole time.

When you're ready to go live, click the status badge on any strategy card. The switch is instant — the next window uses the new mode. Existing open trades in either mode continue resolving normally; the switch only affects future signals.

Auto-switching rules in the risk settings panel let you set: losing streak demotion (auto-switch to paper after N consecutive live losses), winning streak promotion (auto-switch to live after N consecutive paper wins), and win rate thresholds in both directions. All optional.
