Demo trading

What is demo trading?

Demo trading allows you to trade the markets using virtual funds instead of real money.

With a Fintrix demo account, you can explore our platforms, analyze price movements, and place trades in simulated market conditions based on real-time pricing, without any financial risk. It’s designed to help you build confidence before moving to a live account.

What can I do with a Fintrix demo account?

A Fintrix demo account gives you access to a simulated version of our trading environment. You can: 

• Trade a wide range of instruments, including forex, indices, commodities and metals
• Practice trading strategies in real-time market conditions
• Explore charting tools and technical indicators
• Place, manage and close trades
• Familiarize yourself with order execution and platform features

You can access your demo account on both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.

How much virtual balance do I get?

Your demo account is preloaded with $100,000 (USD) in virtual funds.

If your balance runs low, you can top it up at any time so you can continue testing strategies without interruption. If you would like your demo balance to be reset, please contact our Support Team at support@fintrixmarkets.com or via our Live Chat, and our team will be happy to assist you.

Is demo trading free?

Yes, demo trading with Fintrix is completely free.

There are no fees to open or use a demo account, and no deposit is required.

How long can I use a demo account?

There is no fixed time limit.

You can use your demo account for as long as needed to practice and refine your trading approach. When you’re ready, you can transition to a live account at any time.

Can I make real money on a demo account?

No. Demo accounts use virtual funds, so any profits or losses are simulated. They are intended for practice only. To trade with real money and withdraw profits, you’ll need to open a live trading account.

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

The main difference is the type of funds used:

• Demo account: Trades are placed using virtual funds with no financial risk
• Live account: Trades are placed using real funds, with real profits and losses

Both environments reflect real market conditions, making the demo account a practical way to prepare before trading live.

Can I practice CFD trading on a demo account?

Yes. You can trade CFDs on a demo account in the same way as on a live account, including the use of leverage. This helps you understand how position sizing, margin and risk management work before trading with real funds.

Is a demo account worth using?

A demo account is a valuable tool for both new and experienced traders.

It allows you to test ideas, refine your approach and become familiar with the platform, without financial pressure. Many traders use demo accounts to build consistency before moving to live markets.

Can I reset or top up my demo account balance myself?

No, it is not possible to reset or top up your demo account balance directly from your Client Portal or trading platform.

If you would like your demo balance to be reset, please contact our Support Team at support@fintrixmarkets.com or via our Live Chat, and our team will be happy to assist you.

How do I connect to the demo server?

When using MetaTrader 5, you may notice that the server name includes the word “Live.”

This is normal and does not mean you are trading with real funds.

Your account is still a demo account if:

• You have registered as a demo user.
• You are using the demo login credentials provided by Fintrix.

The server naming is part of the platform configuration and does not affect the type of account you are using.

If you are unsure, you can confirm your account type in your client portal or contact support for assistance.
