How it works

Step 1

Your paper account is waiting

On signup we provision an Alpaca paper portfolio and link it to your Livefolio account. Nothing to install, no broker connection required.

Step 2

Deploy a strategy

Pick any strategy on Livefolio and tap Deploy. We size the orders to your paper balance and route them to Alpaca's paper environment.

Step 3

Watch it trade live

Every rebalance fires real paper orders against live market data — same fill engine real Alpaca accounts use. Your equity curve updates as fills come back.

See how your paper account stacks up

Every deployed strategy gets a side-by-side equity curve: the strategy’s modeled performance versus what your paper account actually did — so you can see the gap between theory and live fills.
