Virtual $100k paper trading with master quant rules
Searchers type “paper trading account” and “AI stock strategy” because they want a loop: pick a rule, see positions, see P&L. Broker paper accounts give a blank ticket. Agents61 gives a timing master, a liquid pool, and a virtual $100,000 book that can sync research marks.
Quant Lab already compiled masters into single-ticker Python. The missing piece was portfolio feedback: screen → multi-name signals → cash slots → mark-to-market. That is now the Paper $100k desk, with the same compliance line as the committee: no order routing.
What “$100k” means here
A readable starting unit. Percentages stay comparable to the US quant $10k tapes and to each other. It is not a suggestion that you fund a broker with that size, and a green equity line is not income.
Master rules that can book
Timing / exit seats on Quant Lab — O’Neil-style breakouts, Turtle channels, Seykota trend, Minervini stage-2 proxies, Livermore pivot language. Screens use price/volume and relative-strength proxies. Full fundamental CANSLIM is not claimed.
Sync market is research marks
The desk pulls cached quotes and daily closes. That is enough to update unrealized P&L for homework. It is not a Bloomberg flash. If a mark is missing, the lot keeps its last booked price until Sync finds one.
A search-intent workflow
Open /paper-trading-account for the product framing. Run /learn/run-paper-100k-desk for the steps. Book from /dashboard?entry=paper or Quant Lab’s pipeline. Stop when you have a kill-condition for the rule — before any live size.
Compliance, same as always
Paper only. Not investment advice. Slippage, fees, and survivorship are not fully modeled. Personas are unaffiliated simulations from public text.
