A Demo account allows you to apply your knowledge in a real-life trading environment without risking your money. An advantage of having a Demo account with Alpari (UK) is that, compared with many of our competitors, if you keep trading, your Demo account will not be shut down after a certain time. So feel free to practice until you feel comfortable trading for real but always keep in mind that you won’t get a chance to make profits in return for your efforts if you use a Demo account only.
