Paper trading
Paper trading that feels like a real desk
IndieTrades is where you practice stock trading before real money — virtual cash, real tickers, optional Grok research, you confirm every paper trade. Not a live broker. Not investment advice. Use the Trade floor for tickets, or the AI Desk when you want Grok to research first.
Why paper trade?
- Try stocks before you have large capital
- Learn the ticket, positions, and P&L without stress
- Test strategies with a resetable virtual book
- Keep a journal of proposals, rejects, and paper fills
How IndieTrades paper works
- Sign in — each user gets a ~$100k PaperSim book
- Watchlist + live-ish quotes on the Trade floor
- Build a limit ticket (or let AI propose on the AI Desk)
- Policy checks size, cash, and risk rules
- You confirm within a short TTL — then paper fill
