Demo account for trading on the exchange: a complete guide

Do you want to practice cryptocurrency trading without the risk of losing real money? Demo trading allows you to gain experience by trading on a demo account with virtual assets that simulate real market conditions. It’s an ideal way to learn the platform, develop, and test trading strategies before trading with real funds.

What is demo trading and why is it needed

Demo trading is a feature that simulates real trading using virtual assets. When you start trading on a demo account, you gain access to current market data and conditions, but all transactions are made with test money. This feature reproduces real market prices and fluctuations, allowing you to familiarize yourself with the platform interface and practice various trading approaches without financial risks.

A demo account is especially useful for beginners who want to learn the basics of cryptocurrency trading, as well as for experienced traders who want to test new strategies before using real capital.

How to start trading on a demo account

Creating and logging into a demo account

You do not need to go through a separate registration process for the demo account — it is automatically available to all users after creating a main account. Simply log into your trading account and switch to demo trading mode.

On the website, this is easy to do: hover over the profile icon in the top right corner and select “Demo Trading.” In the mobile app, find this feature on the profile settings page.

It’s important to note that you do not need to complete KYC verification to use the demo account — this is another convenient way to start practicing immediately.

Starting capital and replenishing it

When you first activate your demo account, the system automatically credits you with virtual assets for practice:

• 50,000 USDT
• 50,000 USDC
• 1 BTC
• 1 ETH

These funds are sufficient to start experimenting with different trading pairs and strategies. There is no need to request these funds manually — everything is done automatically when initializing the demo account.

If your demo account balance drops below 10,000 USDT, you can request additional virtual assets. However, if your balance is above this level, the option to request new funds will be unavailable. Additional assets can only be requested in the form of these four assets — no other options are available.

Main differences between a demo account and a testnet

If you’ve heard of a testnet, you might wonder how it differs from a demo account. Although both tools are designed for safe testing, they operate on different principles.

The demo account is integrated into the main trading platform and reproduces current market prices with maximum accuracy. Every order you execute does not affect the platform’s real order book but fully reflects real market conditions. Access via the demo account is available both through the website and the mobile app, plus an open API is available for advanced users.

The testnet, on the other hand, is a separate virtual environment completely isolated from the main platform. Prices move independently of the main market, and your orders influence prices within the testnet, passing through its own order book. The testnet provides access to all platform features except the ability to withdraw funds and is intended for in-depth testing of all system capabilities, including those not available in the unified trading system.

Managing demo assets and account replenishment

Adjusting virtual funds

If you need to change the amount of virtual assets on your demo account, you can adjust demo funds by going to the assets page via the account management interface. This is useful if you want to start a new testing cycle with a specific initial capital.

Withdrawing funds and restrictions

Remember that assets on the demo account are virtual and cannot be withdrawn to a real wallet. This is a completely safe testing environment — you do not risk losing real money, but you also cannot earn real profit.

Sub-accounts and demo mode

If you use sub-accounts, note that demo trading is fully supported on them. However, each sub-account has its own separate demo account, which is different from the main account’s demo account. This means virtual assets are not synchronized between them.

Frequently asked questions about demo trading

What trading products are available on the demo account?

The demo account supports spot trading and derivatives trading (futures, options). This means you can test both types of strategies — from simple buy/sell of cryptocurrencies to margin trading and contracts.

Does the demo account have an expiration date?

The demo account remains active as long as your main account on the exchange is active. You can use it indefinitely for practice and strategy development. However, if you haven’t accessed the demo account for more than 30 days, the system will reset it, deleting old trading history data, but the account itself will remain accessible.

Can I request other assets on the demo account?

No, you can only request USDT, USDC, BTC, and ETH. However, on the demo account, you can trade your own assets on the spot market if you want to test strategies with other cryptocurrencies.

How do I know I am in demo trading mode?

It’s simple — next to the window title, you will see the label “Demo Trading,” which clearly indicates that you are working with virtual funds and not real capital.

Can I directly log into the demo account?

No, direct login to the demo account is not possible. You must first log in to your main or sub-account, then switch to demo trading mode via the profile menu.

Why are some functions unavailable on the demo account?

The demo account is specifically designed to simulate trading under real market prices. Other platform functions outside of trading (spot and derivatives) are unavailable in demo mode because they require working with real funds. If you want to test all platform features, use the testnet.

Can I reset or delete the demo account?

You cannot reset the demo account directly. However, if you do not access it for 30 days in a row, the system will automatically reset it and delete trading history data. After that, you can start practicing again.

Exiting demo mode and switching to real trading

When you feel ready to start trading with real funds, the transition is very simple. On the website, click the “Start Real Trading” button from the demo trading menu. In the mobile app, find this button in the top right corner of the demo trading page.

The demo account is a powerful tool for developing trading skills without financial risks. Use it fully to master the trading platform and develop reliable strategies before trading with real money.
