Explore the workspace
The Guided Demo uses a consistent example account. Learn markets, allocation, positions, account setup and backtesting without changing your account.
How it works
From understanding to automation.
Choose the starting point that fits you. Learning the workspace does not require placing a trade.
Test and simulate
Backtest available historical periods. Paper follows real-time market data with a balance you choose and standard simulation fees. Shadow starts from authenticated account inputs and runs its own simulated session.
Connect your account
Create an eligible Coinbase API key, import its JSON file locally and confirm validation. Use View for account access and View + Trade for real trading. No Transfer or Receive permissions.
Review, then start
Review disclosures, allocation, capacity and device readiness. Complete enables Standard Mode's automated entries and managed exits. Watch status and keep access to Coinbase available.
Four modes. Different responsibilities.
| Mode | Funds | Real orders | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper | Configurable simulation | No | No API key or subscription |
| Shadow | Account-based starting snapshot | No | Eligible API key and fee information |
| Observation | Actual account view | No, including manual closes | Eligible API key |
| Standard | Actual account | Yes, with execution access | Complete and eligible View + Trade key |
