Paper Trading Session
A paper trading session is a trading mode by which the trading bot instance reads a live market data feed, applies the rules defined in the associated trading system, and generates a trading simulation.
Content
A paper trading session node must reference a trading system to gain access to the trading logic to be applied during the session. Other considerations framing the session come from the set of parameters attached to it.
Running
Running Paper Trading Session
Before you start a paper trading session, the corresponding task needs to be running, as it is the task that puts the trading bot instance to run. Once the trading bot instance is running, select Run on the menu to start the session.
To stop a backtesting session, select Stop on the menu.
Configuring
Paper Trading Session Configuration
Properties
folderName allows you to set a significant name to the folder in which the data products—and logs—generated by the session are stored. If left blank, the system names the folders with the session id. This may be handy when you intend to consult the raw data generated by the session, as, otherwise, the folder would be hard to identify. Initial Values
These are the Initial Values for Paper Trading Session configuration:
