Paper Lab

Practice sizing an MNQ trade and simulating what happens. No broker, no real orders — nothing here touches your real signals, journal or TradingView alerts.

Steps: 1 Account → 2 Trade → 3 Review → 4 Simulate. Saved in this browser only (signed-out). Interactive Brokers paper trading is a future step — not connected.

1 AccountPAPER ONLY

A pretend balance for practice — not your real money and not linked to any broker. Wins don't add to it.

Required. Type any practice balance.
Default 1%, at most 1%. Includes costs.

No balance saved yet — enter one and press Apply settings.

Lowering applies straight away. Raising asks you to confirm first.

Advanced risk settings
Default 1%. Reserves open fills' planned loss.
Default 3%. Today's net losses + open risk.

Press Apply settings above to save these too. Existing simulated positions are never auto-closed: if limits fall below them, new trades are blocked. Lab day: 2026-10-30 (Europe/Amsterdam). Today lost so far: €0.00; open risk: €0.00. Wins don't refill the daily cap.

Paper-lab defaults, not suitability advice. A future live service would have to enforce limits server-side against real broker equity.

2 Trade

The practice example fills made-up (illustrative) prices, EURUSD 1.10 and $1.50 fees, and proposes a €10,000 practice balance for you to confirm. Replace them with your own.

Estimates only — no outcome is guaranteed. The risk budget is not account equity or broker margin.

4 SimulateSIMULATION

Arm allows simulated trades. Stop disarms and refuses further simulated trades until you arm again — it closes nothing, as there are no real positions. Reloading always disarms.

Applies to this simulator only. Future-dated signals are also rejected.

These test the safeguards and are recorded like any run. All use your current trade settings; timings and fills are generated, not market data or a backtest.

Simulated results only. Not a historical win rate, not a backtest, not broker execution.
