So this might be a great api and I’m excited there is competition in the api trading market place. But it not a great api unless it has a paper trading account.

- astockwell 8y agoWhat do you mean by paper trading account?
- gricardo99 8y agoA demo account where you can do mostly everything with the trading api but not using real money. Versus the “production” real account that does use your real money
- shift8 8y agoAh yes, well. It does indeed have free paper trading.
