Understanding Demo Account Funding Delays

Updated today

Initial Demo Account Funding Process

When you create a demo account with FXTRADING.com, the system is designed to automatically deposit 100,000 USD of virtual funds into your account. This allows you to practice trading strategies without risking real money.

Why Your Demo Account Balance Might Show Zero

Sometimes after creating a new demo account, you may notice that your balance shows zero instead of the expected 100,000 USD. This is a normal situation that can occur due to:

  • High volume of simultaneous account creation requests

  • Temporary data exchange congestion between our servers and trading center

  • Processing delays during peak usage times

What To Do If This Happens

If your new demo account shows a zero balance:

  • Please be patient - the virtual funds typically appear within a few minutes

  • No action is required from your side during this waiting period

  • The system will automatically complete the funding process

When To Contact Support

If after one hour your demo account still shows a zero balance:

  • Contact our customer service team through the Live Chat feature in your Client Portal

  • Email us at [email protected]

  • Our support team will investigate and resolve the issue promptly

Rest assured that this is a temporary technical delay and not an issue with your account setup.
