There are some difference between Binance Testnet and real account. 

  • Binance testnet server is reset every day in which all the outstanding position will be closed automatically. Due to this restriction, ALGOGENE users should be aware that trading strategy running on Binance testnet account may behave differently. 
  • There are no restrictions in terms of trading product for testnet account. However, for real trading, users should be aware that there are regional restriction on the trading products . 
    • For example, Hong Kong and China residents are currently prohibited from derivatives trading (including Perpetual Future and Option) on Binance.
