A written reference on paper trading setup — how it works, how to configure it, and where it breaks under load.
How It Works
The internal mechanics of paper trading setup tie together data ingestion, signal computation, and order handling into one pipeline.
Configuration
Parameter choices in paper trading setup shape both signal quality and operational load. Record every change and the reason for it.
Failure Modes
Documenting how paper trading setup fails teaches more than documenting how it succeeds. Regime shifts, infrastructure faults, and drift top the list.
Evaluation
Assess paper trading setup with fixed look-ahead-free tests, then stress the operational side before calling it production-ready.
Configuration Reference

Parameter Impact
| Parameter | Effect | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| timeframe | Signal frequency | Higher means fewer but more reliable signals |
| risk_limit | Maximum exposure | Lower means safer but slower returns |
| lookback | Indicator sensitivity | Longer means smoother but lagging |
