Demo Trading on Testnet

[Denis Knaack]

At first, thanks for your work!

I would like to use it with demo trading on the testnet, but I am unable to connect. The problem is with the API key.

I have successfully created a key for the testnet, but it doesn’t work for testnetcombined with demoTrading.

How can I create an API key for testnet+ demoTrading?

error {
   code: 401,
   message: 'API key is invalid.',
}

Might seem a silly question, but what's preventing you from using demo trading with the production environment instead of testnet? The purpose of demo trading is to simulate trading with data on real markets. Testnet is technically already demo/fake trading but with unrealistic markets.

Not silly at all. The problem is that the account on the testnet has a zero balance.

Perhaps I misunderstood your goal, but what I am suggesting here is to use demo trading in the live environment, not testnet. You can already use testnet without risking any real money, without enabling demo trading.

Nice idea! Works great. Thanks!
