Getting started FAQs
Do you offer a demo account?
Yes, we offer a free demo account, with £10,000 in virtual funds, which allows you to try out our platform, practise placing trades, and experiment with trading strategies and techniques – all in a risk-free environment.
To open a demo account, you just need to enter your email address, and password. Once you’ve opened your demo account, we’ll send a verification link to your registered email address. Simply select the link to activate your account, and that’s it. You can start using your demo account.
Will my demo account expire?
No, you can keep your demo account open for as long as you like and continue using it, even after you've opened a live account.
Add more virtual funds at any time via the 'Funding' menu from the top-left profile icon, or the ‘Add Funds’ button which is highlighted on the top right of the platform. This means that you can continue to practise trading on indices, forex, commodities, shares and more.
Please note that shares are available in demo accounts for a limited period of 30 days for most countries, once you’ve activated the subscription. UK and Italy shares are available for up to a calendar month, based on when you activate the subscription.
