TradingView Paper Trading Alternative for Crypto Futures
PaperX is a free TradingView paper trading alternative built specifically for crypto perpetual futures. While TradingView's paper trading is a general broker-style simulator, PaperX focuses on futures: real leverage up to 100x, cross/isolated margin, funding, liquidation and futures-specific analytics — using the same TradingView charts you already know.
Why choose a dedicated futures simulator
TradingView paper trading is excellent for general charting and spot/broker simulation, but it is not purpose-built for crypto perpetual futures. PaperX fills that gap with true perpetual mechanics — leverage, margin modes, funding rates and liquidation — while still rendering full TradingView charts inside the terminal.
Built for futures, powered by familiar charts
You get the charting you expect plus the futures engine you need.
- Full TradingView Advanced Charts with every indicator
- Perpetual futures with up to 100x leverage
- Cross and isolated margin, funding and liquidation

- Leaderboard, achievements and trade journal
