Cryptocurrency demo trading is when a trader makes orders in a test platform. It's for traders who want to understand the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market, as well as practice their strategies and get used to trading tools and platforms without the need to risk their own money. It is of great benefit especially to newbies who are interested in mastering the art of trading cryptocurrency or pro traders who would like to see how their new strategies perform in a real market environment.
Advantages of demo trading

Market dynamics insight: By practicing with demo trading, traders can gain an understanding of how crypto prices move.
Disadvantages of demo trading
-
No emotional pressure: Because traders are not risking their own money, they may not be subjected to the emotional pressures that come with live trading, which can influence their trades.
-
Unrealized performance: Demo accounts may not fully replicate market conditions, such as slippage or liquidity issues.
-
Overconfidence: If a trader is successful in demo trading, it can lead to overconfidence, resulting in the underestimation of risk in live trading.
