The best platform I used for paper trading used to be Think or Swim platform when it was under TD Ameritrade. They were bought out by Schwab and I can’t access it anymore. They don’t do accounts for my country, only US I think.
CTrader has a great back testing tool and really good for paper trading.
Not sure I understand proprely, most broker have the possibility to open a demo account and use different software (such as CTrader, Mt4 or mt5, which are popular for Forex traders).
One that I’ve used that has a great free version is fx replay
a bit of a far fetched idea

Another lesson from seduction subs :
Keep trading playful, see it as a game.
Have fun while trading, being light hearted.
Always better for success 
Especially when you want to be in the flow!
Same with seduction!

Something correlated to seeing trading as a bigger business, instead of seeing it as a ‘one-man business.’ I don’t know exactly how to put this, but something that helps the user see trading as a business, a living organism, and not just as a reflection of themselves.
In the sense of being able to plan future growth and follow short-, medium-, and long-term strategies. Something that helps them find and faithfully follow a growth strategy without constantly putting themselves and their own feelings into the equation.

Well, when I’m trading, a lot of focus is required. In that process, it’s likely that some noise or distractions from the mind itself will trigger thoughts and take you away from the moment of trading, so that’s already a significant mental drain, until the focus returns, you start again, and this loop can become something that paralyzes us.
Focus, total attention to the here and now, mental energy and constant flow when we are trading.

I can double down on this, in the past month I was so biased and not clear headed mentally that I missed some good trades.

Alright, I’ve been thinking a bit and I just thought of something. I was thinking about subs results, and why my trading performance dropped after few good months.
And seeing @SaintSovereign’understanding of the customer maybe you can shed light on this, or have a better understanding than me on this.
There is some kind of “winner effect” in trading where when you win, it gives you the confidence to take risk, keep trading and apply your strategy.
It have to be balanced with good risk management and be careful not to fall into greed, as in deviating from our strategy or taking massive risk.
But there is also the opposite effect where when you start to lose, confidence drop, doubt gets into your mind and you fall into a rut.
It would be nice to keep a bullet proof winning mindset in trading as drawdown will happen, but we need to be able to bounce back quickly from those to get back in a winning mindset.
Winners keeps winning and loser keeps losing.

How long until release? I’ve got some ideas that I’m starting to sketch out but might need a week or so until I feel like they’re able to expressed.
If I do a rough sketch:
There are only 3 things you need. Knowing when to buy (enter, go long), knowing when to sell (exit, go short), and knowing when to hold (waiting).
If we look at the Market Wizards 99% of them do this one thing
RISK MANAGEMENT
Everything else is about following their chosen system and tricks/tips to do that. - (finding a system and edge is good, should be included)
Qullamaggie knowingly overtrades because it scratches his itch.
Some guys do meditations to have patience for when the market makes its move
A lot of them aim to know when they are in flow - or when the markets are making a move. Stockbee also talks about this. He looked at the market whole 2024. When his trading setups started working in July he put on 200%+ of his portfolio. By august he was down to 20% exposure again. (knowing when to hit the trigger).
Soros taught Druckenmiller to bet big when he’s certain. (they wanted 15b exposure during the Pound event, Stan only got halfway there).
When reading about all of them though; They failed.
Qullamaggie went from 5k to 100m within 12years. He blew up 3 times.
Most of the advice I’ve found is on what not to do. Buffett’s rules:
Rule #1 Don’t lose money.
Rule #2 Never forget Rule 1.
(of course Buffett lost money multiple times, and one of his worse investment was Berkshire Hathaway itself).
If we’re going by the big abstractions:
“Knowing what matters”
There’s also this aspect of having fun. It’s not just deep focus or deliberate practice. It’s about deliberate playing “What if I turn the chart upside down and trade” - What if I enter here and here and not where everyone expects etc. - Just to get the cognitive machine running.
Qulla collected thousands of chart images, Stockbee wrote in the market in his market monitor daily in excel. Just to get a daily touch of the market. To start feeling the market.
Risk management isn’t just a good thing; It’s Biology. It’s survival. If you lose, you die.
Journalling as a way of tracking the patterns underneath that impacts your trading (moods, behaviors etc).

Van Tharp said before that the most important thing is to turn your trading philosophy into an executable system and leave emotion out of it.
Whatever that is called, sign me up.

Yeah, we’ve got scripting being tested now. But, I can’t ask any testers to use their real accounts unless we can first establish a baseline, even though it’s “play money.” But, it may not be as far off as you may believe.
