​​What is Futures Demo Trading?​​

🚀 ​​Futures demo trading​​ simulates real-market conditions with demo funds (simulated funds used for Demo Trading), empowering beginners to master core strategies risk-free.

• Risk-free learning​​: Learn futures trading concepts, such as leveraged trading, long and short positions, and the setup of stop-loss and take-profit orders, in a simulated environment without investing real capital.
• Real market data: Synchronizes with actual market conditions and depths, simulating slippage, funding rates, and other details, replicating over 90% of real trading scenarios.
• Strategy testing: Optimize tactics using technical tools like candlestick charts and MACD indicators.

​​💯 Unique Advantages of CoinEx Futures Demo​​ Trading

Starting from Scratch: Experience Futures Demo Trading in Five Steps

Step 1️⃣: Claim Your Demo Funds

💰 CoinEx provides each user with up to 500,000 USDT in simulated funds for demo trading.

How to claim:

• 🖥️ Web: Navigation Bar > Futures > Demo Trading > Futures Asset > Receive demo funds
• 📲 App: More > Demo Trading > Futures Asset > Receive demo funds

​​Step 2️⃣: Select Market & Set Leverage/Margin​​

New users are advised to start with the BTCUSDT linear futures contract, which has the best depth and trading volume.

1. Set initial leverage not more than​​ 10X
2. Choose ​​Isolated Margin​​ to separate risks across different positions and avoid cascading liquidations
3. Gradually increase leverage to test risk tolerance

Step 3️⃣: Choose Order Type

A. Limit Order: Place an order at a specified price, ideal for waiting in a fluctuating market.

B. Market Order: Execute immediately against orders in the order book, ideal for quick transactions during market breakouts.

C. Stop Order: The system will automatically submit the order once the trigger price is reached.

​​Step 4️⃣: Configure Risk Controls​​

A. Set Take Profit/Stop Loss (TP/SL): Pre-set trigger and execution prices; the system will automatically close positions to lock in profits (take profit) or limit losses (stop loss), avoiding emotional decisions.

B. Enable Pyramiding Auto-Settlement: Once enabled, the system will automatically convert unrealized PNL (profits and losses) into realized PNL at settlement time, allowing for flexible management of funds. This is suitable for volatile periods to lock in some profits and reduce liquidation risk.

​​Step 5️⃣: Manage & Close Positions​​

1. Monitor key indicators like margin ratio in real-time. If the margin cannot meet the maintenance margin requirements, the position will be forcibly liquidated.
2. When the market is bullish, you can reduce your positions to lock in profits strategically. For example, take 50% profit and set a stop loss to the breakeven point on the remaining positions.

From Practice to Real Trading: Cultivating Good Habits in a Simulated Environment

CoinEx Futures Demo Trading serves as the ​​optimal training ground​​ for beginners entering futures trading, providing a ​​zero-risk environment​​ while fostering disciplined trading and risk management habits.

👓 Treat it like live trading

Before each trade, you should conduct an analysis from both technical (e.g., candlestick patterns) and fundamental (e.g., industry headlines) perspectives. This helps avoid random "trial-and-error" trades.

📒 Review every day

The faintest ink is better than the sharpest memory. Keep a daily trading log in a table format to analyze key indicators such as PNL of each position and maximum drawdown, optimizing future strategies.

🔖 ​​Build a trader mindset in a simulated environment

Even with demo funds, CoinEx encourages investors to use leverage wisely (5%-20% of total position). This practice fosters instinctive money management skills. In volatile markets, actively reduce leverage to prevent simulated liquidation that could disrupt your strategies.

⏳ Prepare for fluctuating emotions

This is crucial for every beginner transitioning from demo trading to real trading. The demo trading platform provides a risk-free opportunity to experience "consecutive stop losses" and "significant floating profits," allowing you to acclimate to the psychological challenges of real trading. While short-term virtual gains and losses can be stressful, it’s essential to focus on validating your trading logic and the direction of your strategies.
