The Free Demo Tier

The demo is a practice account funded with virtual money. It uses the same interface as the funded platform, which makes it the correct place to learn mechanics before any deposit.

Every account ladder starts here, and this rung is the one most often wasted. A practice account funded with virtual money is offered, running the same platform as a funded account. No virtual balance figure is published on this site — that is shown inside the account — and what matters is not the size of the pretend money but what you do with it.

What the demo is actually good for

• Learning where everything is: order entry, position management, charting, account settings.
• Understanding how each product family behaves — forex, CFDs and digital options do not feel the same to trade.
• Rehearsing a routine: a session length, a position size rule, a stopping point.
• Testing whether you actually enjoy the activity before it costs anything.

What it cannot tell you

A profitable demo run is not evidence of skill, because the one variable that changes retail behaviour most — the feeling of real money moving — is absent. Traders who size aggressively on virtual funds and calmly on real ones are not the same trader. Treat the demo as a flight simulator: excellent for procedure, silent on nerve. The demo account page covers how to use it as practice rather than as a game.

Using it properly

1. Trade the demo at the size you actually intend to fund, not at the size the virtual balance permits.
2. Keep a short written record of each session and why positions were opened.
3. Stay on one product family until its mechanics are automatic.
4. Move on only when your sessions are boringly repeatable.

Trade the demo at the size you plan to fund; a virtual balance traded loosely teaches the wrong habits.

The Standard Real Account

The standard funded account is the ordinary trading tier. It unlocks live markets, requires completed identity verification, and is where the real cost structure begins to apply.

This is the account most users hold. Funding it converts the practice environment into a live one, and three things change at once: money is really at risk, verification becomes essential rather than optional, and trading costs start to matter.

What opening it involves

1. Register through the official domain, typed by you rather than reached from a link in a message.
2. Complete identity and address verification immediately — it is a regulatory obligation and doing it early prevents the most common withdrawal complaint.
3. Fund using a method you can also withdraw to. Payouts generally return by the route the money arrived.
4. Deposit the minimum shown on the funding screen for a first account. No figure is published here because it varies and changes.
5. Withdraw a small amount back out before trading, to see the payment process end to end.

What costs apply at this level

• The spread on every position, paid at entry.
• Overnight financing on leveraged positions held past the daily cut-off.
• Possible payment-provider costs attached to the funding method rather than to the broker.
• Possible inactivity charges if an account is left dormant.

No rate for any of these is stated on this site; the live figures belong on the platform's fee page, and the structure is explained in the fees guide. The order to read them in is fee page first, marketing second.

The standard account reaches the full product line — forex, CFDs across several markets, and digital options — described in the products guide. Nothing about the tier changes the underlying risk: leveraged positions can lose the amount committed regardless of which rung you sit on.

Verify first, fund the minimum, and test a withdrawal before trading — the order matters more than the amount.

Higher VIP Conditions

A higher tier, commonly referred to as VIP, sits above the standard account and adds service rather than new markets. Its qualifying conditions are set by the platform and shown at funding.

Almost every retail trading platform operates a top rung, and the pattern across the industry is consistent: the upper tier adds attention, not instruments. That is the honest framing here too.

What this site will and will not say

The current tier names, qualifying thresholds and benefit lists were not verified against a source anyone can open, so none of them appears on this page. No deposit figure, no balance requirement, no volume condition. What is safe to describe is the shape: a ladder running from practice account to standard funded account to a higher tier with extra service, whose entry conditions the platform sets and displays at the point of funding.

The pattern such tiers usually follow

• More direct account support, sometimes a named contact.
• Priority handling of routine requests.
• Additional educational or analytical material.
• Occasional event or tournament access — trading tournaments have historically stood in for deposit promotions in the European offer, and no entry fee, prize pool or schedule is stated here.

Whether it is worth reaching for

Rarely, and almost never for a new trader. Depositing more than you intended in order to qualify for a service tier inverts the correct order of decisions — the deposit should follow the trading plan, not the tier ladder. Extra support does not improve a strategy, and no tier changes the market. A swap-free option is advertised in the brand's own marketing; it is unverified against terms here, so treat it as an option the platform advertises rather than a confirmed feature, and read the conditions yourself if it matters to you.

If you find yourself sizing a deposit around a tier rather than around a plan, that is the moment to stop and reconsider. Fund only what you can afford to lose.

Upper tiers add service, not markets — never size a deposit around qualifying for one.

Feature Set Across Tiers

The practical differences between levels are access to real money, the applicability of verification and costs, and the level of service — not the range of markets available.

Set side by side, the ladder is less dramatic than tier marketing across the industry suggests. The table below states only what can be described without inventing conditions.

Reading the table correctly

• The markets do not change. Moving up a tier does not unlock instruments that were hidden before.
• The risk does not change. A higher tier does not reduce the chance of a losing position.
• Verification is not tier-dependent. It is a regulatory requirement, and completing it early is the single best defence against withdrawal delay.
• Costs are not a status reward. Any variation in conditions between levels is set by the platform and shown there, not published here.

Every empty cell in the comparison exists for a reason: it would have needed a figure this site could not verify. That is a deliberate gap, not an oversight — the evaluation framework behind it is on the methodology page.

The tiers differ in service and in whether money is real — not in which markets you can reach.

Choosing A Level

Almost everyone should start on the demo, move to a minimum-funded standard account, and ignore the upper tier entirely until a trading routine has proved itself over months.

The choice is simpler than the tier list implies, because for most readers only one path makes sense.

The recommended path

1. Demo, for weeks rather than days. One product family, realistic position sizes, a written record.
2. Verify the account fully before any money moves.
3. Fund the minimum shown on the funding screen, using a method you can withdraw to.
4. Withdraw part of it straight back before trading, to test the payment path while nothing is at stake.
5. Trade small for a long time. Increase size only after a routine has survived a losing stretch.
6. Revisit tiers only if your existing plan already justifies the balance — never the other way round.

Matching level to situation

Not the right fit if…

If the deciding factor for you is a specific minimum deposit or a specific tier benefit, this page cannot settle it, because those figures are not published here and were not verified. Read them on the funding screen and decide there. And if a deposit would come from money earmarked for something else, no account level makes that safe — the honest recommendation is not to fund at all. Which trader profile the platform suits is worked through on the page about who it suits.

Demo first, minimum-funded standard second, upper tier probably never — and let the plan set the deposit, not the ladder.
