Demo vs Live Account

What is the difference between a Demo and a Live account?

A Demo account allows you to trade using virtual funds in a simulated trading environment. It is designed for practice, testing strategies, and learning how the trading platform works without financial risk.

A Live account allows you to trade using real funds in real market conditions, where profits and losses are actual.

Key differences:

Demo Account

  • Uses virtual funds
  • No financial risk
  • Ideal for beginners and strategy testing
  • No deposits required

Live Account

  • Uses real funds
  • Real profits and losses
  • Suitable for active trading
  • Requires account verification and deposits

Both account types provide access to real-time market pricing and trading platforms such as MT4 and MT5.
