Paper trading
Practice decisions and track hypothetical outcomes without placing real orders.
What to notice
Log the market, timeframe, reasons, entry, exit and what happened between them. Include no-trade decisions so the record is not selected only from active setups.
The context that matters
Simulated fills may differ from real trading because fees, liquidity, latency and emotion are not fully reproduced.
Common mistake
Reading simulated win rate as a guarantee of future real-market results.
Try it on a chart
Replay ten charts, make a decision before revealing the outcome, and record every result.
