Demo Account Fees


Recommended Posts

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?

Any answers from IG?

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.

    • It is a consensus that Web3 wallets offer users whole control over their assets, ensure protection against unauthorized access, deliver seamless access to the growing world of blockchain services and more. However one quality that many participants are yet to tap fully is the earning opportunities they unlock. So in my exploration to access those juicy opportunities, I’ve discovered quite a few on Bitget wallet. Earned good rewards from the previous ZETA airdrop, and now in line with offering an unparalleled rewarding trading experience in Web3, Bitget Wallet has launched a massive airdrop for its ecosystem token BWB. Scheduled to last from March 18 to April 28, participants are invited to download Bitget Wallet app on their devices and claim BWB by participating in events through the app—the more tasks completed, the more points you gain. I just think that considering that 164m BWB points have already been issued over the period of 5 weeks, with one more week to go, no better time to hop on this opportunity than now especially with a welcome bonus of 50 $BWB points up for grabs!
    • this sounds like an amazing opportunity for users in the crypto world. It's important to approach futures trading competitions with caution, ensuring one's financial stability and a comprehensive understanding of the market. While the prizes are enticing, responsible trading remains the ultimate goal. Thanks for sharing such an intriguing event, I’ll definitely be taking a look at it ! 
    • As a newbie crypto trader, I dove headfirst into the world of futures trading on Bitget. Feeling overwhelmed by the charts and analysis, I discovered their copy trading platform. It was a revelation! Following the strategies of Bitget's elite traders, I learned the ropes while making real profits. Their expertise took the guesswork out of trading, allowing me to focus on understanding the market. This new Bitget Futures Elite Trader Selection Program is fantastic news. It incentivizes these top traders, giving them greater exposure, while also helping new users like myself identify proven performers. It's a win-win for everyone, and a huge step forward in making futures trading more accessible and successful for beginners. Thanks Bitget!
