Contract trading requires more experience and knowledge than spot trading. OKX provides futures demo trading on both the App and the Web, allowing new users to practice in a simulated environment before moving to live trading.

On the App

1. From the Home page, select Full function center in the upper-left corner, then select Demo trading.

2. Select the trading pair box at the top left and choose Perpetual > USDT-margined > BTCUSDT perpetual.

3. On the trading page, select Buy to open long or Sell to open short.

Note: if you want to use real funds, select Return to live trading at the top right of the page.

In demo trading, you’ll receive a predefined amount of virtual funds. After closing all orders and positions:

  • Go to the Demo trading assets page

  • Select More next to a specific asset

  • Select Reset to restore your demo balance
