Binance demo account: where to practise, and what this app is for

The short answer

A Binance demo account is Binance’s own Demo Trading: spot and futures trading with virtual funds, inside a normal Binance account. That is where to practise. Pozer doesn’t offer a demo account and can’t stand in for one. What Pozer makes is a Binance-style exchange app for filming, a prop for a skit, a parody or a short film, and the second half of this page is about that.

Two things called a simulator

Search for a Binance demo account or a Binance simulator and two different jobs turn up under one word. Most searchers want to place an order, watch it fill and see what the fee takes before real money is involved; a smaller group needs a phone on camera that looks and behaves like a large exchange. The tools don’t overlap, and one request hiding in the same search shouldn’t be served by any tool:

Binance’s own demo account

Binance announced Demo Trading for spot and futures in November 2025, after two months in beta. It replaced the older Futures Mock Trading and trades virtual funds on screens laid out like the live ones. This is how it works according to Binance’s announcement and help pages, as we read them on 7 November 2026:

• It lives in your Binance account. You sign in with a normal Binance account. At launch, Binance said a registered account was enough to start, even while identity checks for live trading were still pending.
• Spot and futures, with virtual funds. You trade with demo money, not your own, and you can reset the balances to the starting amounts to try the same thing again.
• Where to find it. On the web it is at demo.binance.com, with separate spot and futures pages; in the Binance app, look for Demo Trading in the menus. Binance moves its menus around, so its help article on Demo Trading has the current steps.
• Not in every country. Binance offers it only in some countries and regions, and a spot or futures demo only where the matching live product is offered.
• It takes API orders, so a trading bot can be tested against it rather than against real money.

A demo is still not the live market. Binance’s own terms for Demo Trading set out how it differs from live trading, and virtual money changes how you trade: nothing is at stake, so every decision feels easier than it will with your own money. Use it to learn the controls, the order types and what leverage does to a position, not to prove that a plan works.

What to practise on it

• Order types. How a limit order waits for its price, and how a market order can fill worse than the price you saw.
• Fees. What each fill takes, before it comes out of real money.
• The product you mean to trade. Practising spot teaches you nothing about leverage or liquidation, so if futures is the plan, practise futures.
• The same situation twice. Reset the balance and rehearse it until it stops surprising you.

Get it from the source

Reach the demo from Binance’s own website or app. Don’t install a “Binance simulator” or “demo app” from a download link, a file passed around a group chat or a link under a video. A demo uses virtual funds, so it has no reason to ask you to deposit anything, share a recovery phrase or paste an API key into someone else’s app. Anything that asks for one of those is not a demo.

Why Pozer’s app won’t teach you to trade

Pozer makes a Binance-style exchange for filming. It looks close enough to a practice account that the difference isn’t obvious from a screenshot, so here it is plainly:

• The order book is drawn, not collected. Its levels sit one tick apart either side of the last price, and their sizes are worked out from the pair so they hold still while you film. Nobody else is trading on it.
• Every fill lands on the best level of that drawn book (one tick above the last price for a buy, one tick below for a sell) with a flat fee: 0.1% on spot, 0.05% of the order’s value on futures. A real fill depends on who is on the other side. These never do.
• Nothing rests. A limit order priced away from the book isn’t placed at all: a line reading Price didn’t reach the order book fades in and out, and Open Orders always reads (0).
• Prices update about once a minute, from a public market feed. That’s enough for a balance to look current, and far too slow for anything to do with timing.
• Its futures can’t hurt you. The Futures tab opens a USDⓈ-M desk with leverage up to 125x, but nothing on it is ever liquidated: the liquidation price is worked out for the position card and nothing acts on it. Funding is a rate and a countdown you type, and take-profit and stop-loss are drawn, not offered. The one lesson futures exist to teach is the one this can’t.
• There’s no trade history. An order moves the balances, and that is the only record of it.

If practising is what you came for, the sections above are the useful part of this page, and Binance’s demo is the place to go. Everything below is about filming.

The line you don’t cross

An exchange in a skit is a prop, like a stack of film money. The same screen shown to someone as your account, to back an over-the-counter deal, to reassure an investor, a lender or a landlord, or to get anyone to send you money, is fraud, whichever app drew it. Our acceptable use policy prohibits it, and accounts that do it are closed. It cuts the other way too: a balance on someone else’s phone proves nothing about what they hold, however convincing it looks, and the rest of this page shows how little it takes to make one.

The futures share card needs the same care. It carries a referral code and a QR code, and a winning card with a code or link under it that really pays someone is how the fake-results pitch works. Leave the code invented.

What Pozer makes instead: a Binance-style exchange to film

Pozer’s exchange template is called Bourse in the editor. It’s an original design laid out the way a large centralised exchange is, which is why we describe it as Binance-style, so you can find the kind of screen you need. It has no connection to Binance and carries no Binance name, logo or artwork. You fill it in, publish it and add it to your phone’s home screen, where it opens fullscreen under your own name and icon. It moves between six screens:

• Home: the balance with Add Funds beside it, a row of shortcut tiles, and the first six coins the exchange lists.
• Markets: the full board, with each coin’s volume, last price and change on the day.
• Trade: a spot order ticket on the left and an order book on the right.
• Futures: a USDⓈ-M desk, with a contract, its margin mode and leverage, a ticket and a book, and your open positions underneath, each with a share button that opens a PnL card.
• Convert: a coin-to-coin desk with a single rate and a Preview Order button.
• Assets: the balance again, with Add Funds, Send and Transfer above a list of your coins.

The coins the exchange lists and the coins you own are two separate lists, the way they are on a real venue. The board is the same for every visitor; the holdings are yours. The futures account is a wallet of its own, and the balance at the top counts both. With live prices on (the default) the coins and the positions are valued at the market price, so the same amounts come to a different total from one day to the next.

Why film a prop rather than a real account

Mostly because the scene isn’t about anyone’s real money. A skit about the friend who bought the top, a parody of exchange culture, a short film with a trader in it: each needs a phone that behaves like an exchange, not an account. A prop also keeps things off camera that shouldn’t be there: a real account shows your balances and your history, and a stray tap on a real Buy button costs real money. On this one, the numbers do what the script needs, take after take.

Setting one up

1. Open the exchange template in the editor. Name the app (the editor suggests Bourse, Pit, Depth and Vertex) and upload an icon of your own. Skip the icon and it makes a letter tile from the name.
2. Under Holdings, list the coins and amounts the account holds, up to twelve. Under Markets, list what the exchange trades, up to sixteen. Under Futures, set the futures wallet and up to eight positions.
3. Choose Value shown in (BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, USDT or Fiat) and the Fiat currency: US dollars, euros or rupiah.
4. Tap Create home-screen app. If you aren’t signed in, it asks for your email and sends a six-digit code. Then it gives you a link and a QR code for your phone.
5. Open the link in Safari on iPhone and tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, open it in Chrome and tap ⋮, then Install app.

Building and installing it is free. On a free account, SIMULATED · POZER.COM sits right under the balance, on every receipt and inside the futures share card, and images exported from the editor carry it too. Pro at US$4.99/wk or US$12.99/mo removes it.

From there: filming a scene on it, staging a portfolio reveal for a skit, and knowing when a still image is all you need.
