Once you've opened free practice trading account you can then start to practice the following:

  • How Do I set orders
  • How Do You open charts & place indicators
  • How to interpret Indices charts
  • How to monitor profits & losses
  • How to navigate MetaTrader 4 software interface

While practicing all of the above, the funds used are virtual cash, meaning a demo trader will practice using virtual money but everything else including price moves will reflect the true market movement.

Demo Practice versus Live Stock Account

The practice practice account the only difference to the real account is deposit, with a demo account one can't deposit or withdraw money but with the live account a trader can deposit & withdraw money & all trades will be transacted using real money and profits can be withdrawn and losses will be deducted from the deposited amount.

Traders should use this practice trading account to test out their trading strategy and practice indices trading til such a time when they can trade the market profitably. Then when they learn how to make a profit on their demo practice trade account then they can open a live account & begin trading the live market.

Once a beginner registers for the free practice trade account the next thing is to learn the platform as well as learn indices systems & trading strategies that will be used to generate signals for indices trading. Trader will then test these indices strategies on Indices demo account that they will have opened to test if these trade strategies are profitable. Once the trade strategies are profitable on the demo account and a trader starts to make consistent profits on their Indices practice practice account then they can consider signing up a real account.
