Navin vs eToro: local paper desk vs social copy-trading
eToro lets you copy traders and place live orders. Navin Trading is paper: you own the mandate, the journal and the agent loop on your machine. It is not a licensed broker.

| Runtime | Desktop local-first (Windows, macOS, Linux) | Typically cloud SaaS or single-purpose app |
