Forex Broker Demo Account

In order to be able to practice the exercises in this course, you will need to open a demo account. A demo account is a practice account where you are able to trade live using fake money and not your own money.

Once you are comfortable with a demo account, you can then deposit real money and apply what you learned while using a demo account.

Here are the steps to follow when opening a demo account:

Click on this link (Non-US learners):
