Paper Trading

Paper trading lets you test Prism's AI strategies with a virtual portfolio using real market data — zero risk to your actual funds.

How It Works

• Virtual Balance — Start with a configurable simulated portfolio (default: 10,000 USDT)
• Real Market Data — Prices, liquidity, and on-chain data are 100% real
• Simulated Execution — Orders are logged but not sent to the blockchain
• Full AI Analysis — The AI engine runs identically to live mode
