Trade in three API calls.

No account opening, no compliance forms, no minimum deposit. Just an API key and you're live.

01 ─ Create

Create a paper account

One POST call creates a persistent paper account with $100,000 virtual balance. Survives restarts.

POST /api/accounts
{ id: "acc_k9x2m", balance: 100000 }
02 ─ Trade

Trade via REST + WebSocket

Submit orders via REST. Receive fills, P&L updates, and position events via WebSocket in real time.

POST /api/accounts/{id}/orders
WS /api/accounts/{id}/ws
03 ─ Replay

Replay any market

Create a session with a date range and replay historical ticks at any speed — 1x, 10x, or as fast as the engine runs.

POST /api/sessions
{ speed: 10, status: "playing" }

No broker. No barriers.

Every existing futures paper trading solution requires a funded brokerage account. Papyrus doesn't.

🚫

No broker required

Tick-accurate fills

Backed by real CME GLBX.MDP3 ticks via Databento and live equity ticks via Polygon. Your simulated fills reflect exactly what would have happened in the real market.

Live + Replay
