How to open a demo account
No separate portal to hunt for: the demo opens inside FxPro Direct — where everything else lives — so the sequence is short: register once, add a demo account, open the platform.
- Register in FxPro Direct — or sign in if you already have a profile. Registering costs nothing, and the demo needs no deposit — the $100 minimum applies only to a live first deposit. One portal profile covers demo and live alike.
- Add a demo account in the portal. When you add an account, choose demo rather than live, then pick the platform to run it on — MT4, MT5, cTrader or FxPro Edge. The /platforms sheet compares them if you haven’t settled on one.
- Open the platform and practise on virtual funds. The balance is virtual money, according to FxPro — place trades, try order types, learn what a position costs. Nothing to fund, nothing to withdraw.
Demo vs live — what changes
One line matters most: the money. The portal is the same, the platforms are the same — but a demo is a practice environment, and a live account puts your own capital on the line.
| Line item | Demo | Live |
|---|---|---|
| Money | virtual funds | your own capital |
| Deposit needed | none | from $100 |
| Opens from | FxPro Direct | FxPro Direct — same portal |
| Platforms | MT4 · MT5 · cTrader · Edge | the same |
| Environment | practice | live market conditions |
A practice environment shows you the platform, not your future results. Live market conditions — spreads, execution, the pace of price moves — can differ from what practice felt like, and demo performance is familiarity, not a forecast. Treat the demo as a rehearsal of the mechanics: orders, position sizes, what a pip costs.
Asked about the demo
Yes. The demo runs on virtual funds at no cost, according to FxPro — no deposit involved. The $100 minimum applies only to the first deposit on a live account, as the check-table above shows.
FxPro describes the demo as having no time limit — though demo accounts left inactive may eventually be archived, so a long-unused login can lapse. Terms can change; the current wording sits inside FxPro Direct.
MT4, MT5, cTrader and FxPro Edge, according to FxPro — with practice trades placed on live market prices. The /platforms sheet compares the full line-up, TradingView included.
No — the balance is practice money, so there is nothing to fund and nothing to withdraw. Moving real money in and out belongs to live accounts; how that runs, method by method, is on /deposits-withdrawals.
Practised enough? Same desk, live window.
The live account opens from the same FxPro Direct portal — Standard or Raw+, verified and funded from a $100 first deposit.
