Test a Bybit strategy in demo mode after the backtest
Bybit demo is useful for checking order behavior, but it should follow historical validation rather than replace it.

Use a completed backtest to inspect the strategy across at least 90 days, including losing trades and periods of drawdown.
Use demo to validate execution
Demo mode helps reveal order sizing, exchange responses and operational behavior that candle history cannot reproduce perfectly.
Keep permissions constrained
SteadyEdge never requires a withdrawal key. Separate demo and mainnet accounts so the transition to capital remains explicit.
Minimum research record
Keep these inputs with every result so the test can be reproduced and compared without relying on memory.
- Exchange, market type, symbols, timeframe, and exact date range.
- Starting balance, position sizing, leverage, and risk limits.
- Entry, exit, stop-loss, take-profit, and filter configuration.
- Fee, funding, and execution assumptions used by the simulation.
- Net result, drawdown, trade count, losing periods, and known anomalies.
What this evidence cannot prove
A backtest cannot guarantee future returns or fully reproduce liquidity, order-book depth, latency, slippage, rejected orders, exchange downtime, or future funding rates. Use the result to reject weak assumptions and design the next controlled test—not as permission to take unlimited risk.
