Paper trade from the chart, and sync balances, positions and trade history to your journal, read-only. ## Your broker, on the chart. Connect your account to Vela, our next-generation charting platform. Paper trade it from the chart with the stop and the target drawn on the price, while its balances, positions and trade history sync to your journal, read-only. Free on every plan. Orders on a connected account are paper: nothing reaches your broker. ## Practice on the Account You Trade. Connect once, then trade it on paper from Vela. Pick your connected account in the order panel and place market, limit and stop orders with a stop loss and a take profit. The order draws on the chart before you place it, and every order passes the risk rails first. - Trade from the chart. Buy and Sell sit on the chart. Drag the stop and the target to the price you mean, and the position’s lines stay on the chart once it fills. - Nothing reaches your broker. Orders on a connected account are paper. An Alpaca paper account trades on Alpaca’s own paper environment; every other broker’s orders fill on our simulator. - No broker yet? Start anyway. Every plan, Free included, comes with a $100,000 paper account, and you can keep up to five, each at its own size. ## Connect the Account You Already Have.
