| A Paper Trading Account is associated with a specific exchange, in the same way as a Live Trading Account. You can create multiple paper trading accounts, for the same or different exchanges.

Log in details

Best practice is to use a strong, unique password for your Altrady account, and keep this in a secure place such as a password manager. Within your password manager, if there is an option to require the master password to be entered again for the site, then we recommend that you select that option.

In your password manager, select the option to require the master password to be re-entered when logging in

||| If you log in to your Altrady account from a shared computer, do not tick “Keep me logged in”.

If there is a sign-on to your account from a new location, Altrady will send a notification email to your account email address. So make sure Altrady's email address is whitelisted in your email manager. If you believe the log in is not you (keeping in mind that if you use a VPN, then the IP address and location might have changed), then we suggest that you reset your password immediately. This can done under Settings>Account Security.

FYI: You can also check whether your email address has been compromised by checking here. Enter your email

How do Smart Orders work?

Smart orders are managed internally by Altrady.
At least one entry order must be entered, using the top part of the Trading widget.
Then the Take Profit/Stop Loss section of the Trading widget is used to add exit orders.
Once an entry order is filled, Altrady will open the TP orders on the exchange.
If a stop loss is specified, it will be managed by Altrady. When the Stop Price is reached, a limit or market order is placed on the exchange. If more than one entry is used, as each fills:
the current TP orders are cancelled
the additional entry amount is added to the TP orders
the TP orders are placed again As soon as a TP order is filled, any remaining entries are cancelled.
