Live Trading
A strategy executing with real money in a real brokerage account. The differences from backtesting are execution quality, data timing, and psychology — which is why platforms emphasize identical rule engines across backtest, paper, and live, so the only variables left are the ones that genuinely differ.

Backtests are hypothetical, computed by DeployQuant's engine on minute-resolution consolidated US market data (2021-01-04 to 2026-07-17, $10,000 starting capital, no margin, fees and slippage not modeled) and do not guarantee future results.
