How paper trading works

Paper trading is practice with fake money and real market symbols. Orders do not hit a live brokerage for the multi-user product. You still feel the workflow: ticket → fill → portfolio.

Honest fill model

Simulators often fill against last/mark prices, not a full exchange book. IndieTrades PaperSim is for skill and process — not perfect market microstructure. That honesty matters more than marketing “identical to live.”
