Chartnaut Demo
Chartnaut Demo is practice trading on live market prices with virtual money — same Terminal tools as MetaTrader, without a broker login or real capital at risk.
Use it to learn Real-time before you connect a live account.
What you get
Live prices that move with the market
A virtual balance you choose (starting equity, leverage, currency)
Full chart, order, and position tools
Fills that land in Research → Trades like other trades
Demo is not a Backtest. Backtest replays history. Demo follows the live clock with fake money.
Set up Demo
Go to Trading → Accounts
Choose Chartnaut Demo (or add Demo from the connect menu)
Set balance, leverage, and currency when asked
Save — Demo appears in your accounts list
Demo usually does not use Broker Capacity. Check your plan card if you are near connection limits.
Trade with Demo
Open Trading → Terminal → Real-time
Select your Demo account in the toolbar
Add instruments and wait for data to load
Place a small trade to learn the confirm flow
No Symbol Linking step — that only applies to MetaTrader.
Good uses
Learn the Real-time UI before going live
Practice order types and position habits
Confirm journaling and snapshots reach Trades
Let agents place demo trades while you watch
When you are ready for real execution, connect MetaTrader — same Terminal, different account.
Manage Demo
From Trading → Accounts you can rename, disable, delete, or open Manage Account reports for that Demo.
Important distinctions
Demo = live market, virtual money. Backtest = historical practice in Replay — no account required. MetaTrader = live broker, real money, needs Symbol Linking.
