A demo account is a virtual account that allows you to practice trading or try out MT4/MT5 in the same environment as a real account by using virtual funds. FXON's demo account provides the same trading environment, trading symbols, leverage, and spreads etc. under the same conditions as the real account. Please try it for practicing trading and checking the operability of MT4/MT5.

A real account is an account in which you deposit your own funds for trading at FXON, and can be opened and used for trading after the identification procedure.

For the difference between demo and real accounts, please refer to the following.
