- What is paperxtrade?
paperxtrade is a leveraged paper-trading simulator: every balance is virtual, there is no brokerage, custody or payment rail.
- The demo desk and its limits
The demo desk needs no account and stores everything in your browser, but leverage above 10x is capped at three orders.
- Create an account and verify your email
Registration needs an email, a password and a display name; verifying the address unlocks rewards and direct messages.
- Place your first order
Pick a symbol, set the margin you want to risk, choose leverage, then submit a buy (long) or sell (short) ticket.
- Order types and every field in the ticket
Market orders fill at the current mark; limit orders rest until the mark reaches your price and lock their margin meanwhile.
- Stop-loss, take-profit and closing a position
Exit levels can be set at entry or edited later, and you can close a position fully or partially at the current mark.
- How isolated margin and leverage work
Every position risks only the margin you allocated to it; leverage multiplies that margin into position size, from 1x to 50x.
- How the liquidation price is calculated
Liquidation happens when the mark reaches the level where your loss has consumed the position margin down to the maintenance buffer.
- Commission and funding costs
Commission is charged on notional at open and at close; funding is charged periodically while a position stays open.
- Where the prices come from
Crypto is live from Binance without any key; forex, metals and US stocks are live only when OANDA or Alpaca credentials are configured, otherwise they are simulated.
- “Market data delayed” and “Market closed” explained
A quote older than 15 seconds freezes trading on that symbol, and forex, metals and stocks also follow real session hours.
- Reading your wallet and trade history
The wallet shows balance, locked margin, available funds and equity; the history explains every change to the balance.
- Daily claims, credits and the seven-day streak
A verified account can top the wallet back up with a daily claim, ad and review credits, and a streak that grows over seven UTC days.
- Password, sessions and login lockouts
Sessions last 14 days in a secure cookie; changing your password or signing out other devices invalidates every other session at once.
- Change your email or delete your account
An email change becomes active only after the new address confirms it; deleting an account requires your password and removes everything.
- Leaderboard, following and the feed
The leaderboard ranks desks by equity, following fills your feed with their activity, and mentions link to public trader cards.
- Copy trading, blocking and reports
Mirroring copies a desk's new positions into yours within your own balance and limits; blocking and reporting keep your surfaces clean.
