Complete Guide: Demonstration of Account and Trading Features

Demo accounts provide cryptocurrency traders with a risk-free learning platform. Through demo trading, users can experiment with trading based on real market data without risking real funds. This virtual trading environment simulates actual trading conditions, helping beginners master platform operations and test trading strategies.

Basic Concepts and Uses of Demo Accounts

Demo trading is a special account mode that creates a virtual trading environment within the main trading platform. Unlike real trading, demo accounts use virtual assets for operations, and all trading decisions do not affect actual funds. This feature is especially suitable for the following situations: first, new users need to familiarize themselves with the trading interface and order placement process; second, experienced traders want to perform stress tests before implementing new strategies; third, users wish to verify trading ideas under real market conditions without taking real risks.

Demo trading simulates current real market quotes, with order execution following real market conditions, but it does not impact the actual market order book. This ensures users can experience near-real but completely safe trading.

Trading Products Supported by Demo Trading

The platform’s demo accounts are supported through a unified trading account system that integrates multiple trading modes. Users in demo mode can access spot trading and derivatives trading. This means whether you want to learn basic spot buying and selling or explore futures and leverage trading, you can conduct comprehensive experiments within the same demo account.

The unified trading account architecture ensures all functions work seamlessly within one account, eliminating the need to switch between different sub-systems. This design makes demo trading a comprehensive learning platform.

How to Start Using a Demo Account

Creating a Demo Account
Users do not need to manually create a demo account; this feature is automatically activated for all platform users. When you log in for the first time, the system will automatically assign you a demo trading account. This process is seamless and requires no additional application steps.

Entering and Exiting Demo Mode
Accessing demo trading is very simple. On the website, just hover your mouse over the profile icon in the top right corner to see a dropdown menu, which includes the “Demo Trading” option. In the mobile app, this toggle is located in the profile settings page. After selecting it, you will enter the demo account environment.

To return to real trading mode, it’s equally easy. On any demo page, you will see a “Start Real Trading” button. Clicking it will immediately switch back to your main account. On the website, this button is usually in the top right corner; in the app, it appears at the top right of the trading page.

Sub-Account Demo Support
If you use sub-accounts, good news: each sub-account has its own independent demo account. Note that the demo modes for the main account and sub-accounts are completely separate; their virtual assets and trading histories do not affect each other. This separation allows different accounts to conduct independent experiments and testing.

Virtual Assets and Limit Management

Initial Funds Allocation
When you activate a demo account for the first time, the system automatically assigns initial virtual assets, including 50,000 USDT, 50,000 USDC, 1 BTC, and 1 ETH. This combination is carefully designed to support various trading scenarios, from small spot trades to derivatives trading. The process is automatic and requires no request from you.

Asset Replenishment Rules
If virtual funds are depleted during demo trading, you can request replenishment. The condition is that when the total asset value of the demo account drops below 10,000 USDT, you are eligible to apply for replenishment. Once the balance recovers above 10,000 USDT, the system will lock the replenishment feature until the assets drop again to trigger the condition.

Supported Asset Types for Replenishment
Although you can request replenishment, the system only supports four asset types: USDT, USDC, BTC, and ETH. These assets are chosen for their liquidity and representativeness. If you want to trade other cryptocurrencies, you can do so directly in the demo account via spot trading and currency swaps to obtain the required assets.

How to Apply for Replenishment
On the asset management page of the demo, you will see a clearly marked “Apply for Demo Funds” button. Clicking this submits a replenishment request immediately. The system processes it instantly, adding new virtual assets to your demo account. If you want to adjust your existing demo funds, you can do so directly on the unified trading account’s asset management page.

Limitations and Rules of Demo Accounts

Account Persistence and Reset Policy
Demo accounts are not resettable; once created, you cannot manually clear the account data and start over. However, the system has an automatic update mechanism: if you do not access demo mode for more than 30 days, the account will be automatically reset, clearing all data and restoring assets to the initial configuration. This policy protects inactive users’ privacy and provides frequent users enough space to retain trading records.

Verification Requirements
Unlike real accounts, demo trading does not require KYC (Know Your Customer) verification. You can start demo trading immediately without any identity authentication steps. This allows users to quickly experience platform features.

Withdrawal Restrictions on Virtual Assets
All assets in the demo account are virtual and cannot be withdrawn. This is a fixed design feature, prohibiting conversion of virtual funds into real funds. If you earn virtual profits during demo trading, these gains can only be used within the demo environment and cannot be transferred to a real account.

Special Indicators
When in demo mode, the interface will display “Demo Trading” in the header or title, reminding you that you are operating in a virtual environment and not in real trading. This indicator is very important to help you avoid confusion between modes.

Differences Between Demo Accounts and Testnet

Many users confuse demo accounts with testnet environments. While both provide virtual trading environments, their technical architecture and application scenarios are entirely different.

Operational Environment and Market Conditions
Demo accounts run within the main trading platform framework, using real market data and prices. The quotes you see and the orders you execute are based on actual market conditions, ensuring practice authenticity. Testnets, on the other hand, are independent mirror platforms with their own price movements, unaffected by real markets. This means prices and volatility in testnets may differ completely from real trading.

Order Execution and Market Impact
In demo trading, orders are executed but do not enter the real order book or influence market prices. It’s a “view-only” mode that allows learning without market interference. Conversely, in testnets, orders enter the testnet’s own order book, so your trades can influence price movements within the testnet environment.

Access Methods and App Support
Demo accounts can be accessed via website and mobile app, both using your main or sub-account data, supporting account switching. This allows seamless experience across devices. Testnets are only accessible via the website, do not support mobile apps, and require a separate testnet account management.

Functionality and API Support
Demo trading supports all features available through the unified trading account, including spot and derivatives trading. Its API is fully open, allowing developers to integrate and test. Testnets provide access to nearly all platform functions except real withdrawals. They also support APIs, but integration methods differ.

Virtual Asset Acquisition
In demo accounts, the system automatically assigns initial assets (50,000 USDT, 50,000 USDC, 1 BTC, 1 ETH) upon account creation, with subsequent replenishment based on rules. In testnets, users must manually request test coins via the asset overview page, with a limit of once every 24 hours, and a lower update frequency.

Target Users and Use Cases
Demo accounts are mainly designed for individual traders who want to practice in real market conditions without risk. Testnets are suitable for users who want to comprehensively test all platform features and functionalities.

This comparison clearly shows: if you want to learn trading in a market environment close to reality, a demo account is the best choice; if you want to test new features or conduct deep technical integrations, a testnet may be more appropriate.

Common Questions About Demo Trading

No Direct Login Required
It’s important to note that you cannot log in directly with a demo identity. Each time you use demo trading, you must first log into your main or sub-account, then switch to demo mode via the account menu. This design ensures a clear boundary between demo and real accounts.

Long-term Usage Validity
As long as you maintain an active platform account, your demo account remains valid. There is no fixed expiration date, and you can continue demo trading indefinitely to improve and test strategies. The only time-related condition is the 30-day inactivity reset mentioned earlier.

Functionality Scope
Demo accounts are specifically designed for trading functions, including spot and derivatives trading. Other platform modules (such as financial products or advanced tools) are unavailable in demo mode. To test those features, users should switch to a real account or use the testnet environment.

As a complete learning system, demo trading provides an ideal starting point for anyone seeking to safely and effectively master cryptocurrency trading. Both beginners and experienced traders can benefit from this virtual environment.
