How to paper-trade a Streak strategy

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Paper trading a Streak strategy runs the strategy’s entry and exit logic against live real-time market data, logging simulated orders at current market prices, without placing any actual orders in your Zerodha account. Paper trading bridges the gap between historical backtesting (which uses past data) and live trading (which uses real capital): it tests the strategy’s signal logic under live market conditions, including intraday price movements and volatility patterns that may not be captured in historical data, while eliminating the financial risk of live execution.

Kite Demo (Zerodha paper trading environment)

Kite Demo is a simulated paper trading environment operated by Zerodha that replicates the interface and functionality of the Kite trading platform without executing orders on real exchanges or requiring a Zerodha account. It is accessible at kite.zerodha.com/demo and is intended to allow prospective clients to explore the Kite interface, practise order placement, and familiarise themselves with the platform’s features before opening a live account.

Kite Demo presents a pre-populated watchlist with selected NSE-listed instruments and displays real-time (or slightly delayed) market data from the live exchange. When a user places an order in Kite Demo, the order is simulated within the demo environment and does not reach NSE’s or BSE’s order matching systems. Positions and P&L in Kite Demo are notional and carry no financial obligation.
