# Emulation Mode

The "Emulation Mode" checkbox runs the algorithm in a safe environment for testing. All orders execute only inside the terminal without being sent to the exchange. This allows you to test the strategy without the risk of losing real funds.

### How to Use

To run an algorithm in emulation mode:

1. Configure all algorithm parameters
2. Enable the "Emulation Mode" checkbox
3. Start the algorithm

✅ Done! The algorithm runs in test mode — your real funds are safe.

### Important to Know

#### ⚠️ Results in emulation differ from real trading

Emulation does not account for:

* Price slippage during order execution
* Exchange fees
* Order execution delays
* Partial order execution
* Order rejection by the exchange

#### 💡 Use emulation for:

* Initial verification of algorithm settings
* Testing new strategies
* Learning to work with the terminal

For accurate profitability assessment, always conduct final testing on a real account with minimum volumes.
