OANDA — step by step

1
Go to the official website
Open oanda.com and choose Open account / Try demo.
2
Register a demo account
Sign up with your email — a demo usually needs no ID verification.
3
Get your virtual balance
The demo funds your account with virtual money to trade real market prices risk-free.
4
Practice, then go live when ready
Test strategies and the platform, then switch to a funded account when comfortable.

Demo ≠ real trading

A demo uses virtual money and often has cleaner execution and no emotional pressure. Real trading involves real risk, slippage, and psychology. Treat demo results as practice, not a guarantee of live performance.
