Step 1 of 3
Simulation is practice
Concept
Alpaca Paper uses simulated funds and reported paper fills. It is not live brokerage execution.
Do this
Connect only through Alpaca’s hosted authorization and verify the masked account, equity, and buying power.
Why it matters
Credentials remain with Alpaca while Sentimentor receives authorized account access.
Common mistake
Assuming paper fills reproduce live liquidity and slippage.
