Free crypto futures simulator
Practise crypto perpetual futures on live prices
Hex37 is a free crypto futures simulator built so the practice transfers. You get $10,000 in virtual funds on live market data, a tick-based matching engine that simulates slippage and partial fills, and the mechanics that actually decide a leveraged trade: funding, maintenance margin, and liquidation. No KYC, no real money, an account you can reset anytime.
What the simulator models
Perpetual funding, settled every eight hours
Perps stay anchored to spot through funding, a periodic payment between longs and shorts. Hex37 settles funding on an eight-hour cycle and debits or credits your position on notional, so you feel the real cost of holding a leveraged position through a settlement instead of ignoring it. A winning directional trade that bleeds funding is a lesson better learned here than live.
Liquidation at a 1% maintenance margin
When your margin balance falls to the maintenance requirement, the position is force-closed. Hex37 liquidates at a 1% maintenance margin with simulated closing slippage, and the liquidation receipt shows exactly what happened rather than being a black box. You see how leverage compresses the distance from entry to liquidation, and why a 2% stop and a 20x position do not coexist.
The order types a real desk uses
Practise market, limit, stop-market, and stop-limit orders, trailing stops, and bracket OCO orders that pair a stop-loss with a take-profit on your entry. Reduce-only, post-only, and GTC / IOC / FOK time-in-force flags are all here. Brackets and trailing stops are tracked tick by tick, so an exit is as responsive as the underlying tick rate.
Isolated and cross margin, with a live liquidation distance
Trade in isolated margin to cap risk to one position, or cross margin to share collateral across positions. The order form surfaces your liquidation price and updates the distance to it as price moves, and the position sizer warns when your stop has drifted inside the liquidation level. Risk is shown, not hidden.
Every trade journaled automatically
Each fill is logged with entry, exit, R-multiple, and your note, then broken down by day, hour, session, and instrument. Over weeks the journal shows your real win rate and the setups where you underperform, which is where the improvement actually comes from. A premium AI coach can critique each closed trade against your history.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a crypto futures simulator?
- A crypto futures simulator lets you practise trading perpetual futures with virtual money on live market prices, so you can learn leverage, funding, and liquidation without risking real capital. Hex37 gives you $10,000 in virtual funds and a tick-based matching engine that simulates slippage, partial fills, funding payments every eight hours, and liquidation at a 1% maintenance margin, so a practice position behaves the way a live one would.
- Does the simulator model funding and liquidation?
- Yes. Hex37 settles perpetual funding on an eight-hour cycle, debiting or crediting your position based on notional, and it liquidates positions at a 1% maintenance margin with simulated closing slippage. It also supports isolated and cross margin, maintenance-margin tiers, and auto-deleveraging, so the mechanics that decide a real leveraged trade are present in the practice environment.
- What order types can I practise?
- Hex37 supports market, limit, stop-market, and stop-limit orders, plus trailing stops and bracket OCO orders that attach a stop-loss and take-profit to an entry. You can also set reduce-only and post-only flags and choose a time-in-force of GTC, IOC, or FOK. These are the same order types you would use on a live perpetual exchange, so the muscle memory transfers.
- How much leverage can I use?
- You can practise perpetual futures from 1x up to 20x leverage across major assets. The order form shows your liquidation price and live liquidation distance as price moves, and the position sizer warns when your stop sits inside the liquidation level, which is the cleanest signal that you have taken too much leverage for the trade.
- Is it free, and do I need KYC?
- Hex37 is free at the core and requires no KYC and no card. You sign up with an email and start immediately. Nothing here is real money, securities, or commodities; it is an educational sandbox on live market prices, with a balance you can reset whenever you want a clean slate.
- Will practice here transfer to a real exchange?
- The goal of Hex37 is for a simulated position to behave like a live one, so the skills transfer. By modelling slippage, partial fills, funding, and liquidation rather than filling instantly at the chart price, it rehearses the costs and risks that actually decide outcomes. The auto-logged journal then shows your real win rate and where you lose money, so you improve between sessions.
