How to Open an Exness Demo Account

With an Exness demo account, you can trade under the same conditions as a live account. Since the demo account balance consists of virtual funds, no deposit is required. You can experience the same spreads, execution speed, and leverage of up to 2,000:1 as an Exness live account without spending a single yen of your own money.(*) There are no restrictions on tradable instruments; you can trade everything from FX currency pairs to CFD products like gold and silver, as well as cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, using your demo account. Additionally, no profile verification (ID verification) is required to use an Exness demo account, so once you install MT4/MT5, you can start demo trading immediately after opening your account.

At Exness, you can open up to 200 demo accounts per account—100 MT4 demo accounts and 100 MT5 demo accounts. Some FX brokers limit the number of demo accounts to around 10.However, at Exness, not only can you open up to 200 accounts, but you can also archive (hide) demo accounts you no longer use, effectively allowing you to open an unlimited number of demo accounts. This means you can open demo accounts with various combinations of account types, leverage, trading platforms (MT4/MT5), base currencies, and more. Try trading on multiple demo accounts to find the Exness live account with the specifications that best suit your trading style.

With Exness demo accounts, you can freely adjust your account balance (virtual money) and leverage at any time. With some FX brokers, the demo account balance is limited to the initial amount, and you may not be able to replenish the balance or change the leverage settings afterward.However, Exness’s demo accounts offer flexible options for adjusting your balance and leverage. This means that even if you happen to deplete your demo account balance through trading, you can simply replenish your funds and continue using the same account. Additionally, you won’t need to open a new demo account if you wish to change your leverage settings. Enjoy a seamless demo trading experience with Exness’s user-friendly demo accounts, designed with your convenience in mind.

Exness demo accounts have no expiration date. Some FX brokers set a usage limit of around one month for demo accounts. In such cases, once the limit expires, you must open a new demo account, which means starting from scratch each time.However, at Exness, as long as you continue to log in—even if you have no trading history—you can use your demo account indefinitely. This means you can evaluate your performance over the long term without having to repeatedly open new demo accounts. Please note, however, that if there is no login activity on your demo account for a certain period of time, the account will be deleted.

Exness offers leverage of up to 2,000:1, which is among the highest in the industry.(*) While high leverage allows you to trade with significantly lower margin requirements, trading with high leverage on a live account involves high risk. However, with an Exness demo account, you can trade with up to 2,000x leverage without using your own funds. This allows anyone to see how margin requirements work with high-leverage trading—all risk-free.

If you start trading with up to 2,000x leverage on a live account right away, you could end up incurring unexpected losses. Therefore, to protect your valuable funds, we recommend that you try trading with Exness’s maximum 2,000x leverage on a demo account first.

You can also run EAs (automated trading software) on an Exness demo account. This allows you to test the performance of EAs using a demo account. By utilizing a demo account, you can see how the trading strategies configured in an EA actually perform in a live trading environment—all with zero risk.

Exness demo accounts do not have an expiration date; however, MT4 demo accounts will be automatically deleted if there is no login activity for more than 180 days, and MT5 demo accounts will be automatically deleted if there is no login activity for more than 21 days. Therefore, if you plan to use an Exness demo account to conduct long-term trading tests with an EA, please ensure you remain logged in to prevent your account from being deleted.

Exness demo accounts are compatible with both MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). Therefore, if you are unsure which trading platform to use—MT4 or MT5—you can open demo accounts with identical specifications on both platforms to compare their features and determine which one suits you best.

If you are considering switching from MT4 to MT5, you can first experience MT5’s new features and smooth operation through a demo account. Since Exness does not allow you to change your trading platform after opening a live account, please ensure you are satisfied with the actual trading environment through demo trading before selecting your trading platform.

Exness offers five distinct account types, and you can open a demo account for four of them—excluding the Standard Cent account. Since trading conditions such as spreads, transaction fees, swap points, and order execution methods vary by account type, we recommend using a demo account to try trading with the account types that interest you and get a feel for their features.Exness demo accounts replicate the exact trading environment of live accounts, allowing you to experience the real trading conditions of each account type risk-free. After trying out an Exness demo account and feeling confident, please open a live account of the type that best suits your trading style.

To open an Exness demo account, you must first register for an Exness account and access the "Personal Area" on the Exness website. From the Personal Area, select your desired initial balance and account type, and then open a demo account.
