TradeStation Help
In TradeStation, simulated accounts are associated with the Simulated Trading login that allows you to place trades and track simulated positions.
Simulated trading may only be done on symbols associated with your real time data entitlements. In addition, TradeStation clients always have the option of choosing Live Trading to place real trades and establish actual positions in the marketplace using funded brokerage accounts. For more information about accessing this feature, see Logging Into TradeStation.
Simulated trading accounts do not represent real money or real positions. The simulated environment is designed to let you practice using different trading approaches, platform tools, and markets. To perform Live Trading, you need to exit the simulator and logon by selecting Live Trading.
The Manage your Simulated Trading Accounts page is displayed and allows you to add funds to your simulated accounts or to reset your accounts to a specified balance.
