Although paper trading servers are great environments to test new strategies in, far too often, we encounter traders that take their results from these servers with face value. Just because a method or strategy was successful while paper trading does NOT mean the same strategy will always succeed in a live market.

Matt discusses how although these environments can be extremely helpful to some, there is nothing like having skin in the game and actually trading in the live market. Ultimately it comes down to one question, are your paper trading results too good to be true?
