Learn these six habits in Paper, and keep them when you trade for real.

Practice in Paper first

Give Paper a few weeks. Watch what the AI proposes when the market rises, falls and moves sideways, and how often the risk gate blocks a decision. Trade for real only when Paper no longer surprises you.

Read the decision journal

Open Earlier decisions often and read the reasoning, above all for blocked decisions and for trades that lost. Does the reasoning match the numbers on the coin card? Would you have made the same trade?

Change one setting at a time

After a change, wait for several analyses before you judge it. Change the risk level or the stop-loss, not both at once.

Let the risk gate work

A blocked decision is the gate at work. Do not raise your risk level after a bad week. Keep your limits steady, and let the kill switch pause new buys after a loss (chapter 2).

Check your stop-loss orders

In Paper and Real money, look at the Open orders tab of the Positions card: every position needs its stop-loss and take-profit. If a red No stop-loss box shows, act at once (chapter 5). In Manual mode, check them on your exchange, and press Sold when one has filled.

Protect your accounts

Use a strong password that you use nowhere else, and two-step sign-in at your exchange. Never share your password or your keys: we never ask for them. If a key may have leaked, revoke it where you created it and save a new one.

The one rule

Trade only money you can afford to lose, and treat every analysis as one input to your own judgment, not as advice.
