It's tempting to treat paper trading as inconsequential and abandon discipline the moment a simulated position goes against you. But the entire value of paper trading is building the habit of following a process — sizing risk consistently, respecting stops, journaling every decision — before real capital is ever involved.
Every trade candidate you approve, reject or watch is journaled automatically, which is a deliberate design choice: it lets you review your own decision patterns later, not just the market's.
