Demo Account

Fundamentals

A practice trading account funded with virtual money on live prices, used to learn a platform or test a strategy risk-free.

A demo account lets you trade with virtual funds on live (or simulated) market prices, using the broker's real platform, without risking any actual money. It's the standard way to learn a platform's order types and test a strategy before committing capital. Demo trading can't fully replicate live conditions — real slippage, real emotional pressure, and sometimes even real execution speed all differ — so consistent demo profits don't guarantee the same results on a live account.
