What is the difference between a demo account and a live trading account?
The primary difference between a demo account and a live trading account is that there is no capital at risk when trading in a Today Markets.com demo account.
Today Markets.com’s demo/practice account is a core element of our educational effort. A practice account is intended to familiarize you with the tools and features of Today Markets.com’s trading platforms and to facilitate the testing of forex trading strategies in a risk-free environment using virtual funds.
Results achieved on the Today Markets.compractice account are hypothetical and no representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve actual profits or losses similar to those achieved in the practice account. Conditions in the practice account cannot always reasonably reflect all of the market conditions that may affect pricing, execution and margin requirements in a live trading environment. Margin and leverage settings by product and account may vary from time to time between your practice account and a live account due to live account settings changes imposed by Today Markets.com resulting from market volatility and other factors. The pricing available in the demo environment is the same pricing available to Today Markets.com account holders. Pricing for managed accounts and accounts referred by an Introducing Broker may differ.
How long does a demo account last?
Demo accounts last for 90 days after sign up. Afterward, you will not be able to log in using the demo account credentials.
Can I renew my demo account?
Demo accounts last for 90 days after sign up. Afterward, you will not be able to log in using the demo account credentials. Demo renewals are not available at this time. If you have further questions, please contact us.
Can I open multiple demos?
