Separate signals from orders

A generated signal, a simulated position and a submitted real order are different stages. Check which stages the product supports and whether paper and live modes have different access terms.

Inspect controls that matter while running

• Find where the bot runs, which account can sign and what happens if its host or feed disconnects.
• Review maximum position size, minimum orders and stale-price handling.
• Check exit rules and whether pausing also closes existing exposure.
• Inspect logs that explain skipped or failed actions.

Account for subscriptions, executed-order charges, venue fees and hosting separately. Simulated returns do not establish live performance. Follow a copying workflow for trader replication, or a more specific bot category for your interface or execution model.
