10 AI Trading Safety Checks to Run Before Going From Paper to Live Money
A profitable paper-trading run still leaves some difficult questions unanswered.
What happens when market data goes stale? When an order times out? When half an order fills before the connection drops?
And when you press “stop,” what actually stops?
Our new Decentralised News guide sets out ten operational checks to examine before an AI trading agent gets access to real money.
The checks cover:
• The source and exact version of the agent
• API permissions and independently enforced limits
• Realistic costs and reconciled trading records
• Unknown orders, partial fills and stale data
• Shutdown, credential revocation and human review
It also includes the DN Paper-to-Live Gate: an interactive checklist with Pass, Fail and Unknown states, plus JSON and CSV downloads.
Any failed or unknown check blocks completion. Recording ten passes means the checklist is ready for human review. It does not certify safety or profitability.
The guide draws on current primary documentation from Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Alpaca and 3Commas, with clear distinctions between mock sandboxes, paper execution and live trading.
