Comparable connections

Connections that share an asset class with TradersPost. Each card opens the comparison with TradersPost when one exists. TradersPost does not recommend a broker.

All comparisons

A basic paper account for testing your setup

TradersPost Paper simulates fills so you can check that a strategy is configured correctly. It is not a measure of how the strategy would perform with real money.

How TradersPost Paper fills orders

TradersPost Paper

  • Fills 24/7
  • All asset classes
  • Futures without data by default
Fills any time

Market hours are not respected, so orders fill 24/7.

Simple fill prices

A limit order fills at the price you set.

A market order fills at the middle point between the bid and the ask, or at the price type you choose.

Every asset class

It supports all asset classes.

Futures come without data by default, so connect a broker with live futures data and set it as the market data source.

Contracts do not expire

Options and futures positions are not removed when the contract expires.

Open positions for expired contracts stay open until you close them.

For a more realistic simulation, use the paper environment a broker provides, such as Alpaca, Tradier or Tradovate. Paper trading in the docs
