What is a demo account on a trading platform

Now it is worth talking in more detail about what a Demo account is, which has already been mentioned twice. At its core, a Demo account and a regular account are almost the same thing. 

The only difference is when using a demo account, you trade with virtual money but using real and up-to-date data from exchanges. Since the money is “fictitious”, you can add an unlimited amount of it to your demo account. This will allow you to absolutely safely and practically master Forex trading without taking any risks. If you have obtained the necessary knowledge, you can apply it in a safe practice. You can use such an account as you like and as much as you like. You can experiment with different tactics and ways of trading.

When trading on a regular account, you use real money. This means that all income and risks are also real. If you have never done this before, all experienced traders will recommend that you start with a demo account.

Some tips for choosing a broker

Choosing the right broker is also not too easy, here are some tips:

1. Check the legitimacy of the broker. The license will suffice.
2. Check the available markets for the broker.
3. Check available rates.
4. Training – If the broker holds webinars or training sessions for everyone, this is an advantage. This is especially important for beginners. In this case, a database with video lessons or text tutorials is also suitable.
5. The older and larger the broker, the better.

The choice, of course, is yours. Be careful and study all the “pitfalls” of your decision.
