IB - Real money accounts vs. paper money accounts

[Progster]

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is a difference from the NT point-of-view between a real-money account at IB, and a paper-money account at IB.

If so, exactly what is the difference and why?

What I'd like to do is to verify NT autotrading as functional all-the-way thru to IB without having real money on the line.

Thanks.

There is no difference from NT's perspective.

OK, great. Thanks.

So can one connect to the IB paper-trade account with the free version, or is a subscription necessary?

You can trade the Sim101 account in NinjaTrader with IB data for free, but to connect to your IB paper trading account you would need to purchase a license.
