- To create the Paper Trader broker profile, in the Main menu select File, then select Broker Profiles and then click Manage Broker Profiles.
- To create a new broker profile click New, then select Paper Trader.
- Select necessary data source from the list.
- Select the Execution Settings tab -> set Communication Delay -> click OK. This setting emulates delay of order execution on the exchange.

Note: If the selected data feed doesn’t provide ask/bid data and tick volume, Trade Bar will not display ask and bid data and you won’t be able to trade using the Paper Trader broker profile.
