Hello,
I'm trying to connect to IB paper trading account that I just opened, however I'm getting this error message:
Algorithm.Initialize() Error: InteractiveBrokersBrokerage.CheckIbAutomaterError(): LoginFailed - Login failed. Please check the validity of your login credentials. Stack Trace: InteractiveBrokersBrokerage.CheckIbAutomaterError(): LoginFailed - Login failed. Please check the validity of your login credentials.
I didnt find any clear way to do a paper trading without using IB paper account, please let me know if there any way to do so in QC without using “paper Account” on IB end.
(I do have first tier payment subscription).
Please let me know.

Hi Clueless and Community,
QuantConnect Team has removed the option to select between paper or real money accounts in the Interactive Brokers deployment because it's possible to detect the account type by credentials and account number.
Best regards,
Alex
