Demex uses TradingView technology to display data on charts. TradingView is globally recognized as a leading platform for charting and trading, offering an extensive array of technical, drawing, and analytical tools. Powered by robust technologies available on web browsers, desktop applications, and mobile apps, this platform delivers unparalleled access to real-time data e.g. , the latest financial news, , and .
Anyone with a decentralized wallet that connects to Demex can use it. However, there are certain things you are not permitted to do on Demex, such as engage in illegal activities or cause damage to our services or systems.
The range of services that are legally available to you will depend in part upon the country in which you are a resident of and from which you access Demex.
Please read the "Acceptable Use" and "Restricted Locations" sections below for more details.
Trading Risks
Cryptocurrencies and digital tokens are subject to high market volatility and risk, and are out of Demex's control and sphere of influence.

Demex shall not be liable for any losses, damages, costs, or expenses (including, but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of use, direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages) from participating in trading activities or other crypto market-related activities. Do not use Demex if you do not understand these risks and enter into trades only when you understand the trading option you are using, the characteristics of the digital asset you intend to trade, and the potential financial risk of loss when using them.
Not an Offer
None of the information contained here or in Demex constitutes an offer (or solicitation of an offer) to buy or sell any security, currency, product, cryptocurrency, digital token, or financial instrument, to make any investment, or to participate in any particular trading strategy.
Forward Looking Statements
