Same sizing, no order
MT5 paper trading here is a flag on the bot, not a separate demo you have to remember to open. The scan and the position size still run. The order does not leave for the live login.
That makes it the right hour to check position sizing and the news filter before a funded day. When the lots look dull, you turn the live send on.
Paper mode is not drawdown protection
A paper fill cannot breach a firm rule, and it also cannot prove the guard. When you go live, turn on Equity Guard the same day. Pro at $29.99 a month includes the bot and the guard.
Connect a real MT5 login first, even if you stay in paper. The steps are connect MetaTrader 5. Create the Venasri account to reach bot control.
