Frequently Asked Questions about
Demo Trading Accounts

  • What is a trading demo account?

    A trading demo account, sometimes called a forex demo account or paper trading account, is a trading simulator that provides a risk-free environment for practice. It allows traders to engage in simulated trading with virtual funds, offering an opportunity to experience market conditions without risking real money.

  • What is the difference between a demo and a live trading account?

    The primary difference is the type of capital used. Demo accounts use virtual currency, while live accounts require deposits of real money. A demo account enables traders to explore how trading platforms work, test strategies, and place trades without financial risk. However, the psychological pressure of risking actual funds is not present in a demo environment, which can make the live trading experience very different.

  • Why should I use a demo account?

    Demo accounts are valuable for building trading knowledge and practicing in a safe environment. They allow traders to test strategies, practice forex and CFD trading, and become familiar with trading platforms such as MT4 or MT5. Using a demo helps build confidence and improve decision-making before transitioning to real-market conditions.

  • What can I trade on a demo account?

    Demo accounts provide access to a wide variety of instruments, including forex pairs, commodities, indices, and CFDs on assets such as cryptocurrencies. This range allows traders to explore how different markets behave in a simulated setting and prepare for live trading.

  • How do I open a demo account?

    At M4Markets, clients can open a demo account directly from their Client Area. Once the demo account is created, traders can choose to access it on MT4 or MT5, either by downloading the desktop application, using the web terminal, or installing the mobile app on iOS and Android. The demo account provides virtual funds, allowing clients to practice trading strategies, explore the platform’s features, and familiarize themselves with the markets risk-free.
