Observe paper trades using dry-run configuration

Use a simulated wallet and dedicated database to observe signals and fills without live orders.

Goal

Goal: Use a simulated wallet and dedicated database to observe signals and fills without live orders.

Set "dry_run":true, a realistic dry_run_wallet, and dedicated db_url. [config]
Review effective settings with freqtrade show-config -c config.json, then run freqtrade trade -c config.json. [config]
Confirm startup says dry-run, paper DB receives records, and no live orders exist. [config]

Config and logs show simulation, with no exchange account changes.

If `dry_run=false`, stop and fix it; size the paper wallet in the stake currency.

Python 3.11+, Freqtrade installed, a pinned strategy, and a local user-data directory.

Use public market data and local history; treat every trading decision as research and never connect a live account.

Paper fills do not reproduce liquidity, slippage, or latency; bad config can still connect live.

These values describe the upstream repository, not popularity or likes for an individual skill or playbook.
