Proof of Concept - 1 of 8 : IB Paper Trading Account

Interactive Brokers does not automatically give customers paper trading accounts.

Log into Account Management. Click on Trading Access | Paper Trading, and follow instructions there. It may take a day or two for the paper trading account to be set up.

Once the account is ready, log into TWS. Red "SIMULATED TRADING" bars on the top and bottom of the application indicates that this is paper trading account. This account will be used for all testing.
