Paper trading means placing practice trades with virtual money at real market prices. It is the safest way to learn how orders, options and position sizing actually behave before you put real money at risk.
Yes. Every ScalpClock member gets a paper trading account with $25,000 in virtual cash at no cost. Creating a free account is all it takes.
Yes. You can buy and sell stocks, and buy calls and puts from a full options chain with bid, ask, delta and implied volatility for each contract. Selling to close works on any contract you hold. Writing (shorting) options is not supported yet.
Stock prices are live trades and quotes from the IEX exchange. Option quotes come from CBOE and are delayed 15 to 20 minutes. Buys fill at the ask and sells fill at the bid, the same way a real market order would.
Orders fill during regular market hours, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern, Monday to Friday, excluding market holidays. Outside those hours the order is refused rather than filled at a stale price.
Any contract still open after its expiration settles automatically at its intrinsic value: in-the-money contracts are closed for the amount they are in the money, and out-of-the-money contracts expire worthless.
Yes. Reset clears your positions and history and restores the full $25,000 whenever you want to start over.
No. It builds the habit and shows whether a strategy works mechanically, but it cannot copy the emotions of real money, partial fills, or slippage beyond the quoted price. Treat it as practice before trading a small real account.
