The answer in brief

Premiss supports AI paper trading through AI-assisted strategy creation, historical backtesting and paper bots on live market prices. Paper trading uses simulated funds and creates a record of strategy decisions. It complements historical tests and does not establish live profitability.

How to think about the task

Make the experiment legible.

01

Historical test. New observations. Different questions.

A backtest asks what a rule would have done on recorded prices under specified assumptions. Paper trading observes the same rule as new prices arrive. Comparing the two can reveal timing mistakes, unclear rules and operational issues, but both remain simulations.

02

Make the AI-generated rule inspectable

Ask for explicit entries, exits, sizing and decision timing. Read the code or the structured rule before starting the experiment. “Buy dips” needs a definition of a dip, an eligible market and a position limit. Keep a version identifier so you know which rule generated each decision.

03

A useful review includes the quiet periods

A bot that produces no trades may be behaving correctly. Review whether the market ever satisfied the rule. Track data gaps, duplicate decisions and restarts alongside simulated returns. If you change the strategy, start a new evaluation window rather than blending two versions.

Keep the useful questions coming

Clear answers

Before you begin.

What is AI paper trading?

It is simulated trading of an AI-assisted strategy on new market prices. AI may help write or explain the rule; the paper record lets you inspect its decisions without real-money orders.

Does this planner start a bot?

No. It creates a written plan in your browser. You can copy the plan, open Premiss and configure a strategy there.

How long should I paper trade a strategy?

Choose a review period before starting and consider the frequency of eligible signals. A short interval with few trades is limited evidence. There is no universal number of days that proves a strategy is ready for real money.

Does successful paper trading guarantee live results?

No. Real fills, spreads, latency, liquidity and behavior can differ from a simulation. Paper results are hypothetical.
