Demo account
a.k.a. Paper trading, Practice account
A practice trading account funded with pretend money, so you can learn the platform and test ideas without risking real cash.
Most brokers offer a free demo account with virtual money on real live prices. It is the place to learn the buttons, test a strategy and make the rookie mistakes for free.
Demos have one big blind spot: no real fear. When real money is on the line, your hands shake. Move to small micro lots once you are consistent, so you can practise with genuine nerves at a tiny cost.
Demo trading with a $100,000 balance you would never have, so the habits you build do not fit your real account.
