Practice prediction markets before using real funds.

Predicta now includes Paper Trading for Weather and Crypto markets, giving users a simulated account, immediate practice trades, portfolio tracking and settlement based on the same event outcomes used by the live platform.

🎮 1,000 Paper USDTEach Paper Trading account starts with a separate simulated balance.

🌦️ Weather & CryptoPractice on the same event markets shown on Predicta without placing a real order.

📊 Paper PortfolioTrack simulated cash, open positions, mark-to-market value and realized or unrealized P&L.

🧪 Isolated by designPaper activity never enters the real order book or changes real balances, volume or trader counts.

Start with 1,000 Paper USDT

Paper Trading accounts begin with 1,000 Paper USDT. The balance exists only inside the simulation and cannot be deposited, withdrawn or converted into real USDT.

On supported Weather and Crypto market pages, users can switch between Real Trading and Paper Trading. Paper mode lets a user choose YES or NO, enter a simulated amount and see the estimated shares before placing the practice trade.

Choose market → Choose outcome → Select YES or NO → Enter Paper USDT → Simulated fill

Paper fills use server-read market prices

The browser does not decide the execution price. When a Paper Trade is submitted, the Paper Trading backend re-reads the backing Market and uses its current YES or NO price for the simulated fill.

This gives the practice experience a connection to the current public market state without adding the Paper order to the real matching engine.

Important: a Paper fill is a simulation. It does not consume real liquidity, change an order book, create a production Trade, or affect another user's position.

A separate Paper Portfolio tracks the simulation

The Portfolio page can now switch between Real Trading and Paper Trading. Paper mode is visually separated with blue styling and every simulated balance is explicitly labeled Paper USDT or P-USDT.

The Paper Portfolio shows Paper cash, total simulated assets, open positions, current market value, unrealized P&L, realized P&L and settled history.

Open Paper positions are marked to the current public Market YES or NO price. Total simulated assets are calculated as Paper cash plus the current value of open Paper positions.

Settlement follows the official market result

Paper Trading does not create a second oracle or a separate result. When the source WeatherEvent or CryptoEvent settles, the Paper system uses that event's winning outcome to settle the simulated trade.

Official event settles → Winning outcome recorded → Paper position settles → Simulated payout returns to Paper cash

This means users can practice the complete lifecycle of a prediction market, including waiting for an event to resolve, without risking real funds.

Paper and real trading remain separate

Paper Trading uses its own PaperAccount, PaperTrade and PaperLedgerEntry records. It does not write to the production Order, Trade, Position, Wallet or Ledger accounting path.

Paper trades are also excluded from real market participation metrics. They do not count toward real volume, active trader counts or production Analytics.

Users can reset the current Paper account back to 1,000 Paper USDT. Previous Paper records remain in history, while the new account generation starts with a fresh simulated balance.
