Select from the currencies available for your account during setup. Once a Demo account has been created, its base currency cannot be changed. To use another currency, you will need to open a new Demo account.
Demo accounts operate in a simulated market environment. Although they are designed to reflect many Live trading conditions, Demo trading may not fully replicate factors that can affect execution in a Live account.
Why practise with a forex Demo account?
A forex Demo account lets you learn how the trading platform works without committing real funds. You can practise opening and closing positions, explore MT4 or MT5 tools and charts, and test trading strategies using virtual funds.
Whether you are new to trading, want to try a different platform or simply want to test an approach before using real money, an Axi Demo account provides a practical environment for becoming familiar with the markets.
Can I use a Demo account for MT5?
Yes. Axi Australia supports MT5 Demo accounts. You can create one from the Client Portal by going to the Demo section and following the prompts to open a new MT5 account.
Are Demo account spreads the same as Live account spreads?
Axi Standard and Pro Demo accounts use the same spreads and swap rates as their corresponding Live Standard and Pro accounts. However, Demo trading takes place in a simulated environment, so other aspects of execution may differ from Live trading.
How do I open an MT4 or MT5 Demo trading account?
You can create an MT4 or MT5 Demo account through the Axi Client Portal. Select the Demo section, choose your account type and platform, then select your account currency, virtual starting balance and preferred leverage before creating the account. Axi Demo accounts are free to open and can be used for 30 days.
Can I change the base currency of my Demo account?
Not after the Demo account has been created. If you want to practise using a different base currency, you will need to open another Demo account and select the new currency during setup.
