What Is Simulated Trading?

Simulated trading means placing orders against live market prices without spending real funds. It is the safest way to learn how orders, fills, fees, and position sizing behave before risking actual capital.

Every order you place on Cryptonyk uses your virtual balance. Orders are matched by Cryptonyk's simulation engine against real market data, so the experience stays realistic, but no on-chain transaction or real settlement occurs.

Use the simulator to test strategies, get comfortable with order types, and understand how your portfolio value moves with the market — all with zero financial risk.
