About the Session

Paper trading, as the name implies, means you write down your trades on a piece of paper and judge how much you could have gained or lost if you bought and sold at a particular price. Nowadays, paper trading has evolved as an essential feature with numerous institutions giving an experience that is as close to live trading as possible. However, paper trading is not to be taken lightly.

This webinar will introduce you to this major bridge between backtesting and live trading, i.e. paper trading. It will focus more on the trading experience after you have created your trading strategy. The webinar will also help you understand why you should paper trade before taking the plunge and how to look out for some inherent pitfalls of paper trading.

The course highlights the importance of backtesting as the foundation for effective paper trading. By understanding the transition from backtesting to paper trading, you can validate your strategies further and gain confidence before moving to live markets.
