A confirmation screen will display your login details. We recommend that you make a note of these details for future reference. Select ‘finish’ to start using your demo account. You can also find your login details in your MT4 Mailbox, located at the bottom of the platform.

Demo accounts might not match live markets exactly. Demo accounts run in controlled environments, while the quick rise and fall of prices in live markets may cause slippage.
