Everything you need to know before getting started.
How do I export my TradingView Paper Trading data?
Open the Paper Trading panel in TradingView and switch to the "Balance history" tab. The download icon on the right exports the data as CSV – that is the file you upload here. Works with the English (Balance history) and German (Guthabenübersicht) interface.
Is Project PaperTrade really free?
Yes, completely free. No subscription, no freemium tier, no hidden costs. It's a private tool built for traders who want better analytics for their TradingView Paper Trading activity.
Is my trading data safe?
Your data is stored in a secure Supabase database with Row Level Security – meaning only you can see your journals and trades. No data is sold or shared with third parties.
Can I upload multiple CSV files?
Yes. You can upload updated CSVs at any time. New entries are added automatically – existing ones are not duplicated.
Can you paper trade on TradingView?
Yes. TradingView includes a free Paper Trading account with a simulated balance – you can open and close positions on any chart without risking real money. What it does not give you is a proper review of your results, which is where Project PaperTrade comes in.
How do I paper trade on TradingView?

You can then place orders directly from the chart with a simulated balance. Your fills are recorded automatically – export them as CSV and import them here to see your P&L calendar, win rate and trade breakdown.
