Paper practice loops: mock, portfolio, and coach (fake money only)
Education only — not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold anything.
This page connects the Learn path to the practice surfaces. Every balance, fill, and P&L here is FAKE. No deposits, custody, or real brokerage.
The loop
- Learn a concept (risk, sizing, orders, journal…).
- Practice on
/mock/with a paper ticket. - Review on
/portfolio/(positions, fake P&L, history). - Reflect with journal notes →
/coach/process tips. - Return to Learn via deep-links (Learn deep-links).
Wire / news can add context (FACT / OPINION / SIM) — never treat them as trade calls.

Surface cheat sheet
| Route | Use it for | Do not use it for |
|---|---|---|
/mock/ | Order mechanics, sizing feel | Real-money rehearsal as if riskless |
/portfolio/ | Seeing concentration and fake results | Bragging rights as live track record |
/coach/ | Process nudges from your sim journal | Personalized buy/sell advice |
/learn/ | Definitions and frameworks | Live signals |
/wire/ | Headline context | Tip service |

One drill (example structure — not a signal)
- Pick one Learn page you just read (e.g. order types).
- Pre-trade journal: thesis, failure modes, size, order type (trading journal).
- Place a simulated order.
- Note slippage/feel and costs (fees).
- Grade process vs fake P&L (edge vs randomness).
- Check coach tips if unlocked — still NIA.

Guest vs logged-in
Guest mock may use local device storage. Logged-in paper (Platform v2) stores the book server-side for your practice account. Either way: fake money only.
