Preview Mode vs Live Trading

Know the difference between public preview, demo data, and live account actions.

Preview mode

#

Preview mode appears when you are not logged in.

On the Trading Tools page, live apps show Preview. Coming Soon apps show Coming Soon. Preview is for learning screens only.

Open after login

#

After login, app cards show Open instead of Preview.

Open means you can enter the app page. It does not always mean you can perform live actions. Live actions still need active subscription and broker connection.

Active subscription

#

If the product subscription is active, the launcher shows Active until the subscription end date.

If the subscription is not active, the launcher can show Subscribe and the app shows a subscription warning.

Trade Bridge and Trade Bots demo data

#

Trade Bridge and Trade Bots may show demo strategy workflows before login.

Demo strategies are not your real strategies. You may be able to view demo cards or fill a draft form, but login and active subscription are required to save real strategies or change real strategy status.

Trade Scalper snapshot data

#

Trade Scalper preview can show snapshot-only option-chain/market data.

Snapshot data is not a live broker-connected feed. Realtime option-chain updates require login and broker connection.

Preview user

#

Some preview screens use a preview user internally so the interface can render sample data.

This is not a real account and does not place broker orders.

Cannot save real data

#

Preview cannot save real strategies, Trade Scalper settings, broker credentials, runtime controls, or payment invoices.

If you try to save, the app shows a login/subscription message instead of saving.

Cannot place or exit orders

#

Preview cannot place broker orders, exit orders, cancel orders, or run Trade Scalper trade actions.

These actions require login. Live broker orders also require active subscription, selected broker, and connected broker session.

Live account actions

#

Live actions include strategy save, broker connect, order placement, exit, cancel, runtime-control changes, and Trade Scalper settings save.

These actions require Login, active subscription for the selected tool, and broker connection where trading is involved.

Broker connection

#

For broker-bound live trading, connect or reconnect the assigned broker from Settings.

If broker is not connected, order actions are blocked with messages such as Broker is not connected. Orders will not be fired.

Forward Testing vs live mode

#

Some app workflows may support Forward Testing mode and live broker mode.

Always confirm selected mode before placing orders. Forward Testing is not the same as live broker trading.
