Never tried tradingview myself but heard you can paper trade there

I use Webull to paper trade options. Works great.

First recommendation is to drop the papertrading platform, why? Because once you hit “reset” the data is gone. What you’ve done is lost and no longer usable to you.
Recommendation – rather than papertrading in a platform, open up excel or google sheets, create a trade log and log your trades as if they were real and track them. You can absolutely combine this with the papertrading interface if you really want to see the daily movement of the position which is totally fine, but the most important aspect is to preserve the data.
Second recommendation is to include backtesting into your regimen (no idea if you’re doing this or not, but for the general conversation I’m including it). This allows a more efficient test of a hypothesis on a large dataset first to see if it’s viable, which we can then papertrade and log to build a realtime dataset. This is exactly what I started going over a decade ago and it’s hands down one of the most impactful changes I’ve made to my trading.
Good luck!

I use papertrading with schwab/thinkorswim. (From sweden and use their international account since Dec, no cash in the account yet.).
Works great, papertrading is great and you can export your trades to excel or google sheets to keep track and calculate P&L, ROI, BP used etc.
