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. If MT4 is the one you have in mind, the FxPro MT4 sheet walks through costs and the login.
- 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. Our FxPro MT4 sheet covers the classic terminal in detail.
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, and the methods open to you are listed inside FxPro Direct.
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.
