Paper trading · Free
Describe a strategy in plain words; Settlis tests it on past trades, then on paper against live prices, with results every Friday. No real money. Arriving Day 30.
Days are counted from Day 1, the day Fair prices opens on this site. See what opens when.
How it will work
Describe it
Say what you believe in plain words. Settlis turns it into sealed parameters: the markets, the exchanges, how orders wait for a price, the size and a hard stop.
Test it on past trades
Settlis replays the strategy against public records of past trades on the exchanges, with each exchange’s fees.
Run it on paper
Then it runs on paper against live prices, and the results arrive every Friday. No money moves and no order is placed.
Once a strategy is sealed, a change can only make it more careful: a smaller size or a tighter stop, never a bigger risk.
Compiled, sealed parameters
Illustrative“A star receiver will rack up a lot of receiving yards this season. Put in $200, and stop if I’m down $50.”
- Markets
- NFL player receiving yards, full season
- Exchanges
- Wherever the price clears
- Posture
- Resting (maker) where the market allows
- Sizing
- $200, risk-limited
- Hard stop
- Down $50, pre-registered
Paper results are hypothetical
They are simulated from public records of trades: nobody trades, no money moves, and Settlis places no orders for a paper strategy. Nobody can know where a resting order would have stood in the queue, so results are shown as a range. Real trading may not match them. Read the limits in Disclosures and how the simulation works in Methodology.
