RE: paper trading in sandbox env?

There seems to be a sandbox env for api, how can we make use of it to paper trade? or at least test out the API before live trading?

Hi ck, ToS has paper trading but not your brokerage account. The link appears to be a sandbox to test your requests without executing them. That feature already exists in this python api. See examples. For testing, you need to create your own backtesting scripts without actually placing trades.
