Demo trading

Practice on live markets with demo money, switch between Demo and Live, and request a demo top-up.

Demo mode lets you practice with simulated money on the same markets you see in Doxa. Nothing in demo mode touches your real balance.

What demo mode is

Orders, positions and profit or loss are simulated. Nothing is really bought or sold on any venue.
Prices, order books and settlement come from the real markets.
You trade with a separate demo balance. It is not your real balance.

Switch between Demo and Live

Use the Live / Demo toggle in the header, or the Live / Demo control on your portfolio card. On smaller screens the same control is in your wallet and profile menus, labelled Real / Demo.

Choose Demo.
The first time, a dialog titled Practice with demo money explains how it works. Press Start demo mode.
To go back, choose Live (or Real) in the same control, or press Switch to real in the banner at the top of the page.

While you are in demo mode a banner reads “DEMO MODE — you’re trading with practice money”, and your portfolio is titled Demo Portfolio.

The switch is disabled while you are in the middle of an order. The tooltip says “Finish your in-progress order first”.

Your choice is remembered on the device you use.

Trading in demo mode

Demo mode uses the same trade panel as live trading. You can place market and limit orders, buy and sell, and cancel open orders. See Placing orders.

Market orders fill against the current order book. The Max slippage setting is recorded, but it does not limit a demo fill.
Limit prices follow the same range as live orders, 1¢ to 99.9¢.
When a market resolves, your demo positions settle at the real outcome.
Your demo positions, open orders and history appear in your portfolio while you are in demo mode.

What is different in demo mode

Deposits and withdrawals are not available. Demo money cannot be deposited or withdrawn.
PNL calendar and chart are not tracked. They show “Not tracked in demo mode”.
PNL, Winrate, Transactions and Volume stats show a dash.
Cashback is not tracked.
Stop loss and take profit are for live positions only. See Stop loss and take profit.
Multi-bet is for live trading only. See Multi-bet.

Top up your demo balance

You can ask for more demo money at any time, whatever your balance.

Switch to demo mode.
Press Top Up Demo Balance in the header (the balance pill shows Top Up), or open the Rewards page and find Top up your demo balance.
Follow Doxa on X, leave three real comments, and paste the links: your X profile link and the links to your three comments.
Accept the latest Terms of Service if you have not yet.
Press Request $200 Demo Funds.

After a quick review, Doxa adds $200 of demo funds. No real money is involved.

The request card shows where you stand:

Request sent … — waiting for review. While a request is pending, the header button reads Request pending (the balance pill reads Pending) and is disabled.
Approved … — $200 of demo funds were added to your balance.
Not approved, with a note when the reviewer left one. You can send a new request.

See Rewards and referrals for the Rewards page.

Demo quests

In demo mode the quests panel on the Rewards page shows seven practice quests. They track automatically as you trade:

Place 20 demo trades.
Trade 5 different markets.
Open positions in 3 categories.
Close 3 trades in profit.
Grow your demo balance by 10%.
Trade on 2 venues.
Trade 3 days in a row.

Demo quests show progress and a completed date. They carry no reward of their own.
