What it does

When ON, ACondor simulates all trading activity without placing real orders. The bot runs its full logic (scanning, scoring, entry/exit decisions) but routes orders to the tastytrade sandbox or discards them. No real money moves.

When to change it

Turn OFF only when you are ready to trade real money and have validated the bot's behavior through at least one full market week in dry run mode.

Safe range

ON (safe) or OFF (live trading).

Example

First week running ACondor. Dry run ON. Bot logs 'Would enter SPY iron condor at $1.52' but places no order. Review the log and confirm decisions before going live.
