Paper Trading Simulator: Practice With Realistic Fills

The paper trading simulator uses real-time bid-ask data, realistic slippage, and full P&L tracking. Unlike toy simulators that fill at mid price with zero friction, this one approximates what live execution actually feels like.

Features: real-time options chains across major US-listed underlyings, multi-leg order entry, GTC orders for profit and stop targets, position-level Greeks dashboard, and a P&L journal that logs every trade for later review. Practice managing positions through full earnings cycles, IV crush events, and mid-trade rolls without risking capital.

Most paper traders graduate to live trading after 50 documented trades with consistent rule-following. The metric that matters is not paper P&L (which can be fluked); it's the gap between planned exits and actual exits. If you exit at your written profit target 90% of the time in paper, you'll likely do the same in live trading.
