Schwab API paper trading for automated trading systems

Hello everyone,

I am building an automated options trading engine and planning to connect it to Schwab using the developer API. Our initial goal was to run paper trades and view the results inside Thinkorswim before moving to live trading.

After speaking with Schwab technical support, they mentioned that the Schwab developer API only supports live trading and does not support paper trading.

I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience testing automated trading systems with Schwab. How do people usually test their systems before going live? Do you build internal simulators, or do you use another broker for paper trading first?

Any advice would be appreciated
