The gap between paper trading success and live trading failure puzzles most traders. You nail every setup in simulation, then struggle when real money hits the market. TradingView captures both scenarios, creating a unique opportunity to identify exactly where execution breaks down.
Your paper trading data shows what your strategy can achieve under ideal conditions, while live trading data reveals how psychology, timing, and market dynamics affect real performance. These datasets pinpoint the specific execution gaps that separate theoretical profits from actual results.
