Paper trading is practicing the stock market with real prices and fake money. Every quote, dip and rally is real — only the dollars are simulated. The name comes from the pre-computer era, when traders tested strategies by writing hypothetical orders on paper.
Honesty matters: simulated fills are kinder than real ones (no slippage, no liquidity gaps), and knowing it's fake money mutes fear and greed. Treat paper results as an upper bound on real-world performance — a strategy that fails on paper will almost certainly fail with cash.
Most paper-trading accounts die of boredom. CASHFY turns practice into a game: an AI radar deals you scored dip opportunities, every exit is graded against the peak profit you could have captured, your equity curve races the S&P 500, and a leaderboard keeps score across players. You build real judgment because every call is measured.
