Why do I have Thinkorswim real time data in paper trading without funded account
Hi,
stupid question because I am trying to understand why I have real time data in Thinkorswim in my paper trading account.
I dont have any money in my real live account, the balance is 0$.
Support told me I need 500$ deposit in real live account to have real time data in paper trading account.
I understand that usually in paper trading data is delayed by 20 minutes, however, execution is based on real price in the backend which causes a disconnect in your strategy you plan to test in paper trading.
What is the catch here? Is it a glitch and somehow real time data was activated in my paper trading account without having 500$ deposit or is the "real time data" in the TOS user interface misleading?
