# USING PAPERMARKET

This section explains how to use PaperMarket as a trading terminal on top of live Polymarket data.

Here you will see how to

* load a specific Polymarket market into the app
* read the price chart and the live order book for YES and NO
* place market and limit orders with your virtual balance
* manage open orders and see how trades change your positions and cash

The focus here is on practical workflows in the interface.\
All trading is still simulated on the PaperMarket backend while prices and order books always come from Polymarket.
