I've been using TradeMonster's paperTrade platform to practice my strategies trading with credit spreads. I've been trading weekly and monthly contracts. At option expiration, TradeMonster's trade history shows a net credit for short options that expired in the money and posts the credit to your account (while in real life the option would have been assigned). Therefore all of my credit spreads resulted in a net gain. Trading like this, you will never see any losses in your account come expiration. So what is the point of paper trading credit spreads to test your strategies with a virtual account? Has anyone else experienced this with TradeMonster's paperTrade? Is there another virtual platform out there I can use that accurately posts losses when both legs expire in the money?
