WEBVTT 00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:05.062 A good practice session needs a clear ending. Start by asking whether 00:00:05.062 --> 00:00:08.825 you still have an unfinished form or whether you already submitted a 00:00:08.825 --> 00:00:12.587 request. If you are only reviewing a purchase, use its cancel or 00:00:12.587 --> 00:00:16.349 close control to leave the form. If you already submitted it, closing 00:00:16.349 --> 00:00:20.111 the form does not reverse the request. Check the outcome in the 00:00:20.111 --> 00:00:20.425 records. 00:00:20.925 --> 00:00:24.968 Our small manual Paper purchase did not require enabling a strategy. If 00:00:24.968 --> 00:00:29.010 you followed that exercise, you can stop entering requests, record the outcome, 00:00:29.010 --> 00:00:33.053 and leave the simulated position in place. Ending this lesson does not 00:00:33.053 --> 00:00:37.095 require a sale. A practice position remaining on the screen is something 00:00:37.095 --> 00:00:41.138 you can understand and document, rather than a reason to press unfamiliar 00:00:41.138 --> 00:00:41.475 controls. 00:00:41.975 --> 00:00:46.243 If you separately enabled Paper automation, review its Paper controls and current 00:00:46.243 --> 00:00:50.512 state. Do not assume that leaving the page has disabled it. The 00:00:50.512 --> 00:00:54.780 strategy controls and position-management controls have their own purposes. Read what the 00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:59.049 chosen action says it changes, then verify the result. The later automation 00:00:59.049 --> 00:01:02.250 lessons will take you through those workflows in detail. 00:01:02.750 --> 00:01:06.586 The same care is essential for existing Live activity. Selecting Paper changes 00:01:06.586 --> 00:01:10.423 the workspace you view. It does not universally cancel pending requests, sell 00:01:10.423 --> 00:01:14.259 holdings, or stop Live position watchers. Signing out or closing a browser 00:01:14.259 --> 00:01:18.095 is also not a reliable instruction to stop server-side activity. The app 00:01:18.095 --> 00:01:21.932 can keep doing work that you previously enabled even when you are 00:01:21.932 --> 00:01:23.850 no longer looking at its screen. 00:01:24.350 --> 00:01:28.378 The desktop's background-Live notice explains this distinction. It mentions strategy controls and 00:01:28.378 --> 00:01:32.406 a Trading pause. Be aware that the global Trading pause is a 00:01:32.406 --> 00:01:36.434 restricted staff control in the current interface; it is not a button 00:01:36.434 --> 00:01:40.461 every customer can access. Do not spend this exercise searching for a 00:01:40.461 --> 00:01:44.489 missing emergency switch or assume that switching to Paper has the same 00:01:44.489 --> 00:01:44.825 effect. 00:01:45.325 --> 00:01:49.221 If you need to stop real activity, inspect your authorized Live strategy 00:01:49.221 --> 00:01:53.116 and position controls and their stated scope. Verify any resulting order or 00:01:53.116 --> 00:01:57.012 position state through the relevant records and connected exchange as appropriate. A 00:01:57.012 --> 00:02:00.907 strategy being disabled and a position being closed are different outcomes. If 00:02:00.907 --> 00:02:04.803 you cannot establish what is still active, seek help without sending credentials 00:02:04.803 --> 00:02:07.075 or pretending the uncertainty has been resolved. 00:02:07.575 --> 00:02:11.323 For the end of our exercise, keep or return the view to 00:02:11.323 --> 00:02:15.070 Paper and wait for the account information to update. Read the selected 00:02:15.070 --> 00:02:18.818 label, any warning, and the practice records together. Note any simulated holding 00:02:18.818 --> 00:02:22.565 you left open. If you already had Live automation, include its separately 00:02:22.565 --> 00:02:26.313 verified state in your notes; a Paper label alone cannot answer that 00:02:26.313 --> 00:02:26.625 question. 00:02:27.125 --> 00:02:30.930 Your stopping point is now a description you can trust: no more 00:02:30.930 --> 00:02:34.735 practice requests are being entered, the result has been checked, the visible 00:02:34.735 --> 00:02:38.539 workspace is understood, and any separate automation has been considered. This is 00:02:38.539 --> 00:02:42.344 a useful habit beyond this lesson. It replaces the vague feeling of 00:02:42.344 --> 00:02:46.149 being finished with a clear understanding of what remains active and what 00:02:46.149 --> 00:02:47.100 you actually stopped.
