Create a demo trading account

Yes, you can open as many FOREX.com demo accounts as you like – although you’ll need a different email address for each one. You can also apply for another demo account once your current one has expired by contacting our client services team, if you want to trade risk free for a longer period.

If you have more questions visit the Demo Account FAQ section or start a Chat with our support.

We’d recommend using a demo account until you feel comfortable trading with real capital. Ideally, you’ll have a comprehensive plan and strategy in place too, so you know exactly what to do once you’ve added some funds.

FOREX.com demo accounts expire in 12 weeks, but you can open another one if you wish to continue practising for longer.

Paper trading is another name for trading on a demo account. The name comes from an old style of simulated trading, where you’d write down your proposed positions instead of executing them in the open market. Today, demo accounts automate this entire process.
