Demo Accounts use virtual funds and are intended for practising with the trading platform. The first Demo Account created automatically by the system always uses USD as its base currency and starts with USD 10,000 in virtual funds. When you create additional Demo Accounts, you can select your preferred base currency from the available options. Every new Demo Account starts with 10,000 units of virtual funds in its selected base currency, regardless of the currency selected.
Can I use a Demo Account for Social Trading or Funds Management?
No. Social Trading and Funds Management use real funds. A Demo Account and its virtual funds cannot be used to invest in either service.
Social Trading investments use the Investment Wallet. The Investment Wallet is activated only after KYC is approved; submitting verification documents or waiting for review is not approval.
For Funds Management, investors may allocate real funds from the Investment Wallet or an eligible existing ordinary trading account, depending on the sources offered in the subscription flow. An MT4 or MT5 Live Account remains separate from the Investment Wallet; funding it does not automatically create a fund investment or synchronize its balance with the wallet. Current product eligibility and investment requirements still apply.
What does a Demo Account let me experience?
A Demo Account lets you explore FXTRADING.com quoted prices, order speed and execution, spreads and any displayed fees in a simulated environment before trading with real funds. Demo conditions and results may differ from live trading; they do not guarantee live pricing, execution speed, costs or performance.
This practice environment does not provide demo access to Social Trading or Funds Management. Demo trading uses virtual funds and does not generate any IB rebates.
