Demo Trading on Bybit EU lets you practice Spot trading in a simulated environment without using real funds. This guide shows you step-by-step how to access Demo Trading on the website and in the Bybit EU App; confirm you’re in Demo mode; understand how Demo accounts work (including Main Account vs Subaccounts); and manage your demo balances via your Unified Trading Account (UTA) before switching back to live trading.
Key Takeaways:
You can switch between Demo Trading and live trading on both the website and App, and Demo mode is clearly labeled to eliminate confusion.
Demo accounts are available by default (no manual setup required), and are kept separate from your live account balances.
Demo Trading uses simulated assets for practice only. Demo assets can’t be withdrawn or transferred to live accounts.
Step 1: Log in to your Bybit EU account (Main Account or Subaccount) and head to Tools → Demo Trading at the top.
Step 2: To return to live trading at any time, select Start Live Trading at the top.
Note: Demo Trading is separate for Main Accounts and Subaccounts. If you use a Subaccount, make sure you switch to the correct Subaccount first, then enter Demo Trading.
Step 1: Open the Bybit EU App and log in. Tap on More at the top right of the home page.
Step 2: Locate Demo Trading, and tap on it to enter Demo mode.
Step 3: To return to live trading, use the Start Live Trading option at the top right.
Bybit EU provides clear visual indicators to help you confirm which mode you’re using. When you’re in Demo mode, you’ll see a Demo Trading label in the header. This helps you confirm you’re placing orders in the correct account (Demo vs. live) before trading.
Tip: Always check the header label before placing an order to make sure you’re in the intended mode.
Demo accounts on Bybit EU are designed to be ready to use as soon as you access Demo Trading. This means you don’t need to create a separate Demo profile or complete any extra setup steps before you start practicing.
Automatically available: Your Demo Trading account is available by default when you switch to Demo mode.
No manual setup required: There’s no need to open a new account, enable a feature or configure anything in advance — you can start using Demo Trading right away.
No Identity Verification (KYC) required: Demo Trading can be used without completing Identity Verification, as it utilizes simulated balances rather than real funds.
Separate for Main Accounts and Subaccounts: Demo balances are kept separate between your Main Account and each Subaccount, so you can practice independently in the account you’re using without affecting any of your balances.
In Demo Trading, you’ll use simulated assets for practice. The available amounts are displayed on the Demo funds screen, and may vary depending upon the current Demo fund limits shown in your app/web UI. For example, you may see options such as:
100,000 USDC
15 BTC
200 ETH
These balances are simulated and provided for training and order placement practice in Demo mode. Demo assets can’t be withdrawn or transferred to live accounts.
To start trading in Demo mode, you’ll need to request Demo funds from the Demo funds/UTA assets page.
Step 1: Click on Assets in the top navigation bar, then select Unified Trading Account from the drop-down menu.
This opens your UTA assets page in Demo mode so you can view and manage your Demo balances.
Step 2: On the Unified Trading Account page at the top right, click on Adjust Demo Funds to request or update your Demo Trading balances.
Step 3: You’ll be taken to the Adjust Demo Funds window, where you can add or reduce your Demo balances. Enter the amounts you want within the allowed limits shown (e.g., up to 100,000 USDC, 15 BTC or 200 ETH), then click on OK to confirm (or switch to Reduce Funds if you need to lower your balances).
Demo Trading is a helpful way to practice on Bybit EU, but it won’t always replicate live trading conditions.
Demo results may differ from live trading In Demo mode, it’s often easier to follow a plan because no real funds are at risk. In live trading, emotions such as hesitation, urgency and fear of loss can impact timing and decision-making. Execution can also differ in fast-moving markets, as the expected price may not match the fill price when liquidity is limited or volatility increases (slippage).
Use Demo Trading as preparation, not performance benchmarking Instead of using demo results to predict live outcomes, use Demo Trading to learn how to navigate the Bybit platform, such as for placing and managing orders, and build consistent trading habits.
Always confirm you’ve switched back before trading live Before placing any real order, confirm you’ve exited Demo mode and returned to live trading. Look for the mode indicator (such as the Demo Trading label), and use Start Live Trading when you’re ready to switch back.
Can Demo Accounts be reset or expire? Your Demo Account will remain active as long as you have a Bybit EU account. However, if you do not access your Demo Account for 30 consecutive days, it will be refreshed and its data will be cleared.
Can I withdraw funds from Demo Trading? No. Demo assets are simulated and cannot be withdrawn or transferred to live accounts.
Is Demo Trading available on Subaccounts? Yes, Demo Trading is supported on Subaccounts. Please note that the Demo Trading account in your Subaccount is separate from the one in your Main Account.
Why are some features unavailable in Demo Trading? Demo Trading is designed to focus on trading simulation based on market prices, so some non-trading features are excluded in Demo mode. If you want to test broader functionality beyond trading simulation, please use our Testnet.
Demo Trading on Bybit EU is a practical and low-pressure way to learn the Bybit platform and build confidence before placing live orders. It helps you become comfortable with key workflows — such as navigating the interface, placing and managing orders, and reviewing balances and order history — using simulated assets in Demo mode.
As you practice, focus on developing consistent habits and using Demo Trading responsibly as preparation. When you feel ready to move on, double-check to see that you’ve switched back to live trading (for example, by confirming the mode indicator and using Start Live Trading). Finally, transition only when you’re confident in both the process and your readiness to trade with real funds.
