Can I lose wallet SOL in a paper trade?
Paper orders use virtual SOL. They do not buy or sell tokens in your connected wallet.
Why does a market order wait for a price?
A fill needs a price of record no more than 15 seconds old. Quiet coins can lack a fresh trade. A live sell quote can provide an exit price when the quoted sell path is available.
Is the paper fill fee included?
Yes. Paper buys and sells each charge 1.25%. Check the fill receipt and market order example to see how it changes tokens or proceeds.
Why is a figure missing?
The source may not have sent it yet, or it may be unavailable. Missing data is not treated as zero and does not pass a Pulse filter that requires that figure.
Why do I see a phone install screen?
The phone app is designed to run from your home screen. Follow the browser’s Add to Home Screen or Install app flow, then open the installed app. See Getting started.
Do alerts arrive after I close the app?
Trade toasts run while the tab is open. They do not send background phone push notifications.
