The Demo Broker Explained

The DemoBroker is a simulated broker module that allows testing all platform functions without connecting to a real broker.

What is the Demo Broker?​

The Demo Broker is a special test environment that is enabled by default for all new clients. It serves to:

  • 🧪 Demonstration of brokerize functionality
  • ⚙️ Automated testing of your frontend integration
  • 📚 Development without real broker connections

Benefits​

  • Development and testing without risk
  • No real transactions or accounts necessary
  • Ideal for demos and proof-of-concepts

This way, all platform functions can be tested realistically before connecting to a live broker.
