Paper Trading

fyers-store does not place real orders when the environment is not LIVE. This makes PAPER mode safe for dry runs with live data.

How It Works

• Set FYERS_ENVIRONMENT=PAPER.
• Keep allow_live_orders false.
• Any order submission raises a TradingSafetyError.

Example

$env:FYERS_ENVIRONMENT="PAPER"
python examples/backtest_to_live.py --symbol NSE:SBIN-EQ --resolution D --days 120 --go-live

What NOT To Do

• Do not set ALLOW_LIVE_ORDERS=true in paper runs.
• Do not assume PAPER mode simulates fills; it only blocks orders.

Scenario Example

Scenario: You want to observe your strategy signals without trading. - Run in PAPER mode. - Log order intents instead of submitting them.
