Test, Paper, Confirm and Auto
One control per strategy decides where its orders go. Test is the default and never trades.
A strategy's legend row carries a mode control. Each script on each chart has its own mode.
| Mode | Orders go to | You | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Test | A private paper broker inside the script's worker | Read the tester | Backtesting over loaded history. The default. |
| Paper | The paper account | Watch | The full live pipeline with nothing at stake |
| Confirm | Your broker, one card at a time | Press Send or Skip on each order | Going live with a human check |
| Auto | Your broker, straight through | Watch; the kill switch stops it | Proven strategies. Hidden unless the platform enables it. |
- Choosing Paper, Confirm or Auto asks once, in a popover naming the symbol, the lot cap and the entry cutoff:
SMA Cross will propose orders on NSE:NIFTY 5, up to 1 lot per order until 15:20. You confirm each one. - Going back to Test never asks.
- Modes are never saved. After a reload every strategy starts in Test, so nothing trades because a page reloaded.
