I wanted to get your thoughts on possibly decommissioning WealthSim on the website.
It’s been a useful tool over the years, but as we look ahead, I think it may be pulling focus away from where we want to go next. Right now the priority is WealthLab 9 and AI integration, like the Strategy AI and Co-Pilot. That’s where we can deliver the most value. Maintaining WealthSim takes ongoing effort, and it starts to spread us too thin.
At the same time, there are now better alternatives. Broker-based paper trading has improved a lot. For example, Alpaca and Interactive Brokers both offer paper accounts that are closer to real-world execution and integrate directly with live trading workflows.
So I’m leaning toward retiring WealthSim and focusing more on WL9 and AI tools.
Nothing is finalized yet. I’d really like to hear your thoughts. Are you still using WealthSim, and would Alpaca or IB paper trading cover your needs?

Rename
Completely agree. I don’t use it
Retire it.
I don't have any thoughts about decommissioning WealthSim.
But I don't use it because my strategies are based on custom local libraries, and it's my understanding I can't make those work on WealthSim. Right?
I do like looking at how well other users are doing on the site. That's interesting.
If you need suggestions for WL9, we should talk.

Agree，WealthLab 9 and AI integration, like the Strategy AI and Co-Pilot all this seems more important and useful.
Bye bye Wealth$im, it's been fun!
R.I.P. Wealth$im :-)
