Demo data

A 90-day curated sample portfolio that fires every Onyx-Engine card on day one — for traders who want to see what TradeOnyx does before importing their own history.

What it is

Demo-mode is a one-click loader that creates ~80 sample trades, three playbooks (Trend Pullback, Range Break, FOMO Re-entry) and a tag pool (fomo, over-sized, revenge, disciplined, …) on your account. Every row is flagged is_demo=true so it can be wiped in a single click. Real trades you've imported are never touched.

The sample data isn't random — it's hand-shaped so each Onyx-Engine detector finds its specific pattern: a Friday-Drift cohort that under-performs other weekdays, a stretch of red AAPL trades for Symbol-Persistence, an over-trading day with eight quick entries, a revenge-cluster (loss → two oversized re-entries within 30 minutes), a same-day same-direction AAPL+MSFT pair for Correlation-Cluster, a recovery streak after the drawdown, and so on.

How to read it

Demo-mode is meant for two situations:

  • First five minutes after signup. You haven't imported anything yet, /dashboard/patterns says "need 20 trades", you have no idea what the platform actually does. Loading the demo turns every empty card into a fully populated example so you can decide if it's worth importing your real history.
  • Showing TradeOnyx to a friend or in a screenshot. The sample data is realistic enough that you can demo Symbol-Persistence or Friday-Drift on a fresh account without exposing your own trading.

What demo-mode is not: it's not a backtest. The numbers don't reflect real market behaviour, just enough structure for the detectors to fire. If you want to evaluate a strategy's edge, import real trades — the platform is built to study your own data.

Where TradeOnyx uses it

Workflow: 1. Welcome wizard step 3 — pick the Demo-Daten tab next to Upload file and Connect API. Click Install demo data. Step 4 then lands on a fully populated patterns teaser. 2. Persistent banner — a gold strip ("Demo data loaded") sits above every dashboard page while demo data is loaded. The banner has its own Clear demo button so the moment you import real trades, one click wipes the sample set and a hard reload redraws every panel against your real book. 3. Side-by-side? No. Loading demo a second time is a no-op (already_loaded=true); the demo and your real data don't co-exist as separate views. If you want both, use a separate account.

Gotchas:

  • Demo trades count toward the Free-tier 500-trade cap while loaded. Clear them before you start importing your real history if you're on Free.
  • Tags created during demo (FOMO, disciplined, …) are removed on clear, so don't manually attach them to real trades while demo is active — those links get cascade-deleted with the tag.
