Workflow

Paper-trading risk review workflow

Use this workflow to review whether a paper-trading agent is following its rules, respecting limits, and producing decisions you can explain.

Good review output

A useful review produces a rule change, a watchlist change, a sizing change, or a decision to collect more paper-trading evidence before changing anything.

Bad review output

A weak review jumps from one lucky or unlucky paper result to a live-capital conclusion. Trading Boy should keep the process evidence-first.
