What is the demo account?
The demo account allows you to get a feel for the Opentrader platform before trading for real.
It’s a fully functional simulated trading account with real-time data, watchlists, news and more. And it’s completely free! Before playing for keeps, you can experiment by trading with a simulated cash ($50,000) on us 😉
You can start using the demo account as soon as you enter your email address and set a password on the sign up page.
Woohoo 🎉
How do I switch from demo to a real account?
If you’re loving the demo account, you can open a live account and trade for real by following the prompts on the platform.
Switching your account from demo to the real deal is easy.
- Once you’ve logged onto your demo account
- At the top of the page, you’ll see the following prompt:
- (Or click on your initial in the top right-hand corner)
- Simply hit Open Account to start the application process
The next steps will depend on whether you’re applying from Australia or overseas and what account type you’re after 🌎
In general, Australian applicants can complete to process online. And international applications will need to be posted to us in Australia, Sydney 📮
Now you know how to get the ball rolling! And we have lots more information available on the account application process if you’d like to take a look 👀
Can I still use the demo account after opening a real account?
Yep! You’ll be able to switch seamlessly between the two. Just hit your initial in the top right-hand corner and you’ll see both options.
