Practice account

Also called: paper account, paper trading

An account that trades with simulated money at real market prices. Nothing you do in it moves real funds.

In practice

Your balance, positions and fills behave like the real thing — the prices are live and the fees are modeled — so what you learn transfers. What does not transfer is the loss: nothing here can cost you money.

What it is not

Not a demo of Aureus and not a free trial. It is the product. Aureus never holds your funds and places no real trades.
