A demo account provides you with the opportunity to test and trade our platform and instruments in a risk-free environment, testing your strategies and checking our trading conditions with virtual funds. A live account, provides you with access to live markets and conditions, where you may trade using your own funds. Although, a demo account includes all the same features and functionality as a live account, keep in mind that trading in a simulated environment is different to trading under real market conditions, mainly because of the psychology involved. Remember this when evaluating your performance on your demo account.
