Trade-on-paper Guide

PreviousDYORNextTrading psychology basics

Last updated 11 days ago

Before risking real capital, we highly recommend that you paper trade ATM signals. You can do that 1-2 days before start trading with the real capital.

Don't worry: you'll still have enough time to pay-off the subscription and get some gains, strongly suggest you not neglect this part.

This is the fastest way to:

  1. Test different entry/exit setups

  2. Understand which algo fits your style (OG, LaunchLab, Pumpfun)

  3. Build confidence using ATM without financial risk

Why Paper Trade?

Many users lose money not because signals are bad — but because they:

  • Enter too late

  • Don’t have a consistent exit strategy

  • Don’t track performance and repeat mistakes

Paper trading solves this. It helps you spot patterns, test setups, and find what works for you.

What You’ll Need

  1. A spreadsheet or notes app

  2. 60–90 minutes per day

  3. Access to ATM signals ( subscription)

Suggested Table Format

Create a Google Sheet or Notion page with the following columns:

Timestamp
Token
Algo
