Platform
DXtrade tags every simulated account on the platform “Demo,” including TradeSport evaluation and sim-funded accounts. Your account is not a demo: live market data, rules enforced as published, real payouts. The tag only signals simulated capital rather than live funds.
Updated
If you trade on DXtrade, you will see a “Demo” tag on your account and a notice that your trades are not real. That label is a system tag DXtrade applies to every simulated account on the platform, including TradeSport evaluation and sim-funded accounts. It does not mean your account is a demo.
What is real
- Market data — you trade live market data, powered by DXfeed.
- Rules and targets — your profit targets, drawdown, consistency rule, and every other account rule are enforced exactly as published.
- Payouts — the payouts you earn on a one-phase or sim-funded account are real.
What the tag means
Every TradeSport account trades simulated capital, not live funds — that is how the program works, on every platform. DXtrade makes that visible with the tag. It changes nothing about how your account is evaluated, upgraded, or paid.
No action is needed on your part. If anything else about your account looks off, email support@trade-sport.com.

- Can I trade from my phone?DXFutures has a mobile app; Tickblaze's mobile app is in beta, coming soon. On a Rithmic connection it depends on the third-party platform you choose. Your TradeSport dashboard works from any phone.
- Can I use third-party charting platforms like Sierra Chart or Quantower?On a Rithmic connection, Rithmic-compatible front-ends (Quantower, Sierra Chart, Bookmap) are known to work — at your own discretion, with support limited to R|Trader Pro and ATAS. DXtrade and Volumetrica are self-contained. Any charting tool is fine for analysis.
- How do I download and install the trading platform?Open the Downloads tab in your trader dashboard: it holds the download for each available platform and the web links for the browser-based ones. Log in with the credentials from your provisioning email.
- What hours can I trade?TradeSport accounts follow CME futures hours — nearly 24 hours a day, six days a week — but all positions are automatically flattened at 3:59:59 PM ET every day. CME holidays and weekend closures apply.
- What market data do I get?Real-time Level 1 market data is included with every connection — Rithmic data on Rithmic, DXfeed-powered data on DXtrade and Volumetrica, and Tickblaze's data on Tickblaze — covering the full supported futures product list. No separate data subscription needed.
