Open the glossary →How to actually start
Open a demo
Takes under a minute and needs no documents. Same spreads and execution as a funded account.
Trade it for a fortnight
Small size, stop on every position, and a written note of why you entered. Two weeks is the minimum useful sample.
Read your own results
Look at closed trades, not floating profit. Floating money is not yours until the position closes.
Open a demo before you open a wallet
Same spreads, same execution, same instruments. Nothing to fund and nothing to cancel.
