Paper-to-Live Readiness
Measure the Paper-to-Live gap before scaling capital.
Paper results lie when execution slippage, broker latency, and mental drift are ignored. ZenTrader quantifies the readiness gap asset-class by asset-class.

01
Execution slippage
Compare paper entry and exit fills against real-world broker execution to quantify friction.
02
Readiness gates
Set mechanical criteria every strategy must satisfy before transitioning from paper shadow to live execution.
03
Asset-class gating
Crypto, equities, and FX earn go-live independently — never scaled simultaneously without evidence.
Paper trading that earns trust
Paper trading is not a simulation game. It is the initial audit boundary that proves whether a ruleset deserves real risk exposure.
