Bitget Introduces CFD Demo Trading With Real-Time Market Data

Bitget now has a simulated trading account for its Contracts for Difference (CFD) service. The new feature allows users to experience traditional financial markets and cryptocurrencies with virtual funds. It provides real-time market prices for market access on Forex, precious metals, global indices, commodities and cryptocurrencies. When users register, they will get a 10,000 USDT virtual fund. The feature is available on both Bitget’s website and mobile app.

Bitget Adds Live Market Conditions to Demo Trading

The users accept the terms of CFD trading on the platform and activate a Demo Account. There is no need for further Know Your Customer (KYC) or Know Your Business (KYB) checks. Traders can even tweak their virtual balance each time they require. This enables them to test strategies using varying sizes of accounts.

For context, the account utilizes live quotes from the market, across asset classes on the crypto exchange. Traders can see the results of the changes in the price, spread, leverage, and other trading factors. They can also practice the margin requirements and overnight financing costs prior to joining the live market.

The feature is available both for Electronic Communication Network (ECN) and 0-Fee trading mode. This enables the fee structures to be compared. Expert traders can also link up via APIs to test out automated strategies prior to using them with actual money.

The feature aims to tackle the learning curve of entering new territories, according to Bitget CEO Gracy Chen. “When entering a new market, understanding price movements is only part of the learning curve. Traders also need to understand the new trading mechanics, terminology and risk management involved,” stated Chen.

She then added, “The Demo Account runs on the same quotes, leverage rules and liquidation logic as live trading, so traders can learn how CFDs and risk management work with none of their capital at stake.”

It Now Offers One-Tap Access To Live CFD Trading

The Demo Account is provided in addition to Bitget’s live CFD service. With a single tap, users can alternate between simulated and real trading. As they test their techniques before entering live markets, and existing live jobs will not change.

It comes after a number of enhancements to Bitget’s CFD infrastructure this year. These include the following: dynamic leverage, tiered margin management, dedicated CFD sub-accounts and increased Open API support for CFD markets.

The expansions are part of Bitget’s Universal Exchange (UEX) strategy. The main goal of this platform is to combine cryptocurrency and traditional financial market presence in one trading platform.
