Question: What is the difference between Demo and Live cTrader trading accounts?
cTrader Demo and Live accounts both offer the same functionality and market rates. The numbers should be identical to a live account.
But there are some differences you should be aware of:
- You cannot withdraw funds from Demo accounts
- Live Accounts may cause some risks and costs, but Demo account is Free
- Demo account’s system doesn’t consider “market liquidity” while trading
- Thus no slippage, re-quotes or order rejections happen on Demo accounts
- It is psychologically different experience
Although Demo and Live almost seem the same, you cannot compare the profit/loss results between live and demo accounts.
