Paper Trading Simulator

The PolyDashboard paper trading simulator lets users practice BTC Up/Down entries with virtual balance. It is intentionally placed next to the live chart because the useful feedback is visual: where was the entry, what moved afterward, and did the position match the user's read of the round?

What virtual balance means

Virtual balance is not money held by PolyDashboard. It is local simulator state used to track practice entries and exits. The simulator can help you rehearse a decision flow, but it does not show the full cost of real execution, liquidity, latency, platform fees, account limits, or emotional pressure.

How to use it

1. Open the dashboard and review the current round before selecting a side.
2. Choose an order size that makes the simulated result easy to inspect.
3. Place a paper entry only after checking the timer, price, BTC reference, and chart context.
4. Use the trade history to review timing after the position changes or the round closes.

Good simulator notes

A useful paper trading note is specific. Instead of writing that a round looked good, record what the market price was doing, how BTC had moved, whether the gap looked stretched, and what would have invalidated the entry. That makes later review possible.
