Live or Practice

New agents start live. Practice is always one tap away, in either direction.

Reviewed 2026-09-26

Live means your agent trades for real, inside your limits. Practice means it looks, thinks and decides exactly as it would live, then writes down what it would have done and spends nothing.

New agents start Live unless you choose Practice when you create one. You can switch either way at any time, in your agent's Settings, under Trading. No transaction is needed to switch.

The Amount step has Practice with no money selected and shows the agent starting with no deposit.The Amount step has Practice with no money selected and shows the agent starting with no deposit.

Practice is useful when you want to watch how it thinks before trusting it with money, or when you have not funded it yet.

Why live is the default

Your money's protections are the same in every mode. Your contract refuses any trade over your per-trade or per-day limit, and only your wallet can ever withdraw. A waiting period in Practice added friction, not safety, so it was removed on 25 September. Your agent's practice checks are still counted and shown as its track record.

Live has two flavours, Ask me first and On its own. See modes.
