Is TradeZero Paper Trading 100% free to use?

Yes, TradeZero’s paper trading is free and available for one month. During this period, you’ll have access to all platform features, real-time NASDAQ Basic market data, and trading tools at no cost. After 30 days, your paper trading account and market data access will expire. To continue to have access to Paper Trading, you will need to open and maintain a funded account.
