How LeadFinn Paper Trading Works
Paper trading allows both beginner and seasoned traders to test trading ideas and risk management techniques in real market conditions without financial risk.
No published figures for this strategy yet.
We will not print win rates or P&L we have not produced from a real
run on real candles. Run it yourself in the Backtest Lab — the same
NSE history, the same brokerage, STT, exchange, SEBI, stamp duty and
GST — and the numbers you see will be your own.
Realistic Intraday Mechanics
In Indian markets, trading is governed by specific market session rules. LeadFinn mirrors actual market operations:
- Session Timings: 09:15 AM to 15:30 PM IST with auto square-off at 15:25 IST for intraday (MIS) orders (Zerodha's time).
- Order Types: Practice Market Orders, Limit Orders, and Stop-Loss (SL / SL-M) orders.
- Realistic Friction: Gross profits often evaporate when factoring in high frequency turnover. LeadFinn gives you an honest look at your net profitability.
