Benefits of Demo Trading

This facilitates the testing of different trading strategies, such as day trading or scalping, and allows for a seamless transition to live trading once comfortable.
MEXC Futures Trading Features
• 00:03:44 MEXC Global's futures trading interface provides various functions similar to other platforms like Bybit, including order types, charts, and trading views.

Trading Strategies
• 00:09:12 The demo account allows users to explore various trading strategies, including day trading and scalping.

Risk Management
• 00:10:39 While the demo account permits high-risk practices like using high leverage, it's crucial to adopt proper risk management when transitioning to live trading. The presenter advises limiting exposure to futures trading to a small portion of the portfolio, ideally less than 5%, and underscores the importance of psychological awareness due to the differences between demo and real money trading. Long-term profit focus is paramount, and short-term gains should not be considered a guarantee of continued success.
