A separate account
Practice has its own virtual balance, positions, orders, and transactions. Nothing in it can debit your bank or move a real security.

A reset clears the simulated holdings and activity. It does not remove your profile, lessons, future live account application, or any real record.
- No brokerage in practice
- No real settlement
- No bridge from a simulated holding to a live holding
The short version.
- Look for the Practice label
- Use market and limit orders differently
- Treat results as simulated
