Paper trading - test Jorg AI with simulated money

Paper trading lets you run your own AI settings against real market prices using simulated money, so you can evaluate Jorg AI before connecting real funds. It is included on every JorgAI account, no setup request needed.

Alpaca is currently the only broker that supports paper trading with Jorg AI. Charles Schwab's API has no paper environment, and the Tradier and tastytrade test environments are not offered. You will need a free Alpaca account (sign up at alpaca.markets - no funding required), even if you plan to go live with a different broker later. After signing up, open the Paper Trading section in your Alpaca dashboard once so your paper account is created. Your evaluation carries over: the AI settings you test are the same ones you will use live.

Setting it up:

1. In your Alpaca dashboard, switch to your Paper account and generate a paper API key and secret
2. In Jorg AI, go to Settings, then Broker, and choose Alpaca
3. Paste the paper API key and secret
4. Tick "Use paper trading"
5. Click Connect Alpaca
6. Set up your AI settings and enable auto-trading. It will trade your simulated Alpaca funds only

Two things to know:

• Auto-trading requires a paid plan. The Free plan does not include auto-trading or AI predictions. Starter, Plus and Pro all begin with a 7-day free trial, so a full evaluation on simulated funds can still cost nothing.
• Your live accounts stay untouched. Paper mode places every trade in the simulated account only; nothing touches a real balance until you deliberately reconnect in live mode.
