Learn to trade with FXTM's free demo account

Practice trading, risk-free

Practise trading on real markets with our free Demo account. Use up to $20,000 in virtual funds, added in increments of $1,000, so none of your own money is at risk.

Watch how prices move, manage your trades with tools like Stop Loss orders, and build confidence for live trading.

It's also a good way to learn your trading platform. MetaTrader offers many indicators and timeframes to help you follow the markets, and these take a little practice.

By the time you're ready for live trading, you'll trade real money with confidence.
