Paper Trading
Paper trading uses a $10,000 virtual balance completely separate from your real funds. Everything works identically to live mode:
- All 8 signal patterns fire and deliver notifications
- Copy Trade mirrors positions using virtual balance
- Stop-loss and take-profit execute automatically on paper positions
- Daily digests include paper P&L
- Full position history and trade log
When to use: Learning the system, testing new patterns, or running parallel strategies risk-free.
/settings → Trading Mode → Paper
Live Trading
Uses your real Polygon wallet and USDC balance. Order execution:
- FOK (Fill-or-Kill) — attempts immediate full fill
- GTC (Good-Til-Cancelled) — automatic fallback; polls every 60s
/settings → Trading Mode → Live
Manual Mode (Default)
Every signal is delivered as a Telegram notification with Enter Trade / Skip buttons. You decide each trade individually.
- Full control over every execution
- No automatic spending
- Best for reviewing signals before acting
Auto Mode
Signals matching enabled patterns are executed automatically without confirmation. A notification is always sent after each execution.
- Hands-free execution — never misses a signal
- Sizing governed by your risk configuration
- Enable/disable per pattern independently
Before enabling Auto Mode, set your maximum trade amount to a value you’re comfortable with. The terminal executes all qualifying signals up to that limit.
Per-Pattern Auto Execution
In Auto Mode, enable or disable auto-execution independently for each of the 8 patterns:
/settings → Signal Patterns → [Pattern Name] → Auto Execute: On/Off
Example: Intersection signals auto-execute (high confidence) while Contrarian requires manual approval (higher risk).
Switching Modes
/settings → Trading Mode → Paper / Live / Manual / Auto
Switching modes does not affect already-open positions.
