What is a demo account?

A demo account is a trading account that uses fictitious money provided by a broker instead of your own funds. In other words, even if you lose or make a profit, you won’t gain or lose. Since there is no need to prepare your own funds, there is no risk, so it is a practice account type. Demo trading is highly recommended for beginners because you can experience trading in the same environment as real trading.

Open an account for free

Demo accounts are basically free. You can practice trading for free, so you can feel free to practice.

Beginners

Trading on a demo account will neither lose nor gain money. This account type is highly recommended for beginners who are not yet familiar with trading itself.

Difference between demo account and real account

A demo account is very different from a real account.

real money

For real accounts you use your real money, but for demo accounts you use fictitious money. This will make a huge difference in human psychology. Therefore, many people think that they cannot practice at all unless they trade with a real account.

Can’t feel the market psychology

Real trade uses your own funds to trade, so you can see price movements due to investor psychology, but you can’t experience it with demo account trade. Demo accounts tend to be more mechanical than real trades.

Market impact

In real trading, the contents of trades other than yourself affect the exchange rate. On the other hand, demo trading does not affect the actual exchange rate even if the trading volume is large. In other words, no matter how much you win in a demo trade, the price movement is often different from the actual trade.

It’s not always possible to win in a real game

Since demo accounts involve the above factors, no matter how much you win, there is no guarantee that you can win with a real account. Therefore, the reality is that it is never good to trade with a demo account all the time.

How to join a demo account
