A demo account is the smartest first step in forex: you trade with virtual money at real live prices, so you can learn the platform and test an approach without risking anything. Here's how to open one with RoboForex.
Open your demo in the Members Area, not inside the MetaTrader terminal. RoboForex retired in-terminal demo accounts in mid-2025 (they were moved to close-only in July 2025); demos opened through the Members Area are unaffected and behave like a normal account.
1. Open the Members Area and choose a demo
Register in the RoboForex Members Area and choose to open a free demo (practice) account rather than a live one. It works across RoboForex's platforms.
- 1Open a New Account → Demo account — start here, not inside the MetaTrader terminal.
2. Set the platform, balance and leverage
Pick MetaTrader 4 or 5, a virtual starting balance, and the leverage you want to practise with. Choose a balance close to what you'd realistically trade live — practising a $100 plan on a $100,000 demo teaches the wrong habits. If your virtual balance runs down, you can usually reset it from the Members Area or by contacting support.
- 1Make sure the Demo tab is selected.
- 2Platform, account type, leverage and a realistic start deposit.
3. Get your demo login and server
Note your demo login ID, password and server — RoboForex's demo servers are named like RoboForex-Demo (standard) or RoboForex-DemoPro. You'll enter these in MetaTrader.
4. Log in on MetaTrader and practise
Install MetaTrader, open File → Login to Trade Account, enter the demo credentials and select the demo server, and you're trading with virtual funds. Practise the full workflow — placing and closing orders, setting a stop-loss, reading the spread — until it's second nature.
When you're ready for real money, the same login flow applies on a live account (with a live server) — see the RoboForex platforms guide. And learn the mechanics first: What is forex trading? · What is leverage in forex?.
