Hi all,

Just started using the demo account to trial Forex and wanted to find out if all the trading cost and other charges like overnight funding are applied for the demo account or will these charges only be applied when I have a live account?

Thanks!

This is a very interesting question!

 

A demo account should take into account the costs, if it wants to simulate truthfully trading. Things like slippage are harder to simulate, but fees and charges should be reflected to be useful and faithful. I would not trust a platform that does not do so in their demo accounts.

Any answers?

Thanks for your email.

 

Yes the spread and overnight funding are all built into the demo account as well so you will be able to see how that performs. 

 

The one thing to note is that our margin call policy does not apply to the demo as it would to the live account

If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The IG Demo account does not represent the live market at all with different spreads; also, slippage is a common occurrence.  I have tackled IG many times on this, and the result has been that the demo offering is for testing and is not supported like a live account.  Sorry for the dim news, but this is a reality.  Also, I recommend that you do not use PRT V12, as this makes things even worse!Its best to start on a small real account until your confidence builds.

      Cats TGE is close, alternative ways to participate in the ecosystem asides airdrop

      By iamcryptic · Posted

      Hi guys, happy weekend! Cats TGE is getting closer, and a lot of exchanges have rolled out opportunities for users to make the most of it, especially for those who didn’t farm. I’ll be focusing on Bitget Launch Pool since I just locked some BGB.   Here’s the deal: for those who didn’t meet the requirements for the official airdrop, you can still participate in the ongoing launch pool. You can stake BGB or USDT and earn some CATS. The last time I checked, the APR was in triple digits, and the pool ends in about 6 days.   Personally, I think this is a great opportunity to get involved in the Cats ecosystem. What do you think?

      Hey I wanted to share my excitement about the upcoming $CATS airdrop and the Bitget Launchpool event. If you're into crypto like me, you won't want to miss this! $CATS Airdrop Claiming First off, the $CATS airdrop is happening soon, and it's super easy to claim. Exchange like Bitget have partnered with Cats to offer a gas-free airdrop on Telegram. This means you can claim your tokens without worrying about those pesky gas fees! The tokens will be automatically credited to your account before the spot trading begins on October 8th, 2024, at 10:00 UTC. But that's not all! The ongoing Launchpool This is a fantastic opportunity to farm some extra tokens. The total distribution for this event is a whopping 19.5 billion $CATS tokens. If you've participated in Launchpool events before, you know how user-friendly and rewarding they can be. Why I'm Excited As someone who has been using the exchange for a while, I appreciate their transparency and the ease of use of their platform. The fact that they are making the airdrop gas-free is a huge plus. Plus, the Launchpool events are always a great way to earn some extra tokens with minimal effort. If you're as excited as I am, make sure to mark your calendars for these dates. Happy farming and trading, everyone!
