What is the Exness Demo Account?

The Exness Demo Account is a simulation of a real trading account, allowing traders to experience the dynamics of live markets without using real money.

While the demo account offers a nearly identical experience to live trading, there are some key differences that traders should be aware of.

Trading Conditions in Demo vs. Live Trading

When trading on a demo account, you’re working with virtual funds, so there’s no real financial risk. The market conditions — such as spreads, execution speed, and available instruments — are generally the same as on a live account. However, in live trading, emotions like fear or excitement can have a big impact on your decisions, something you won’t experience in a demo environment.

To make it clearer, here’s a simple breakdown of the differences between demo and live accounts:

FeatureDemo AccountLive Account
FundsVirtual funds (no financial risk)Real money (profits or losses possible)
Market ConditionsSame spreads, prices, and executionSame, but with real stakes
Emotional ImpactMinimal emotional involvementEmotions like fear and excitement can play a role
