Hello,
I am a bit confused about the paper trading mode with IB. Is "IB forward paper-trading" using an IB paper-money/trial account and linking it to Q, or does it mean linking a real IB account and there is a paper trading/simulation option available upon linkage?
I am asking because when I try to link an IB paper money/trial account, I get an error (have had this problem for several months).
Must I open a real account with them for it to work? If so, are both cash and margin accounts supported?
Thanks.
Hershel
