Demo Accounts

[mickn88]

Hi Guys,

I am looking for a demo account that has no time limit on it and offers a full range of products. Everything out there at the moment seems to have a 20-30 day limit, and only offer you 50% of available products. Any suggestions? It doesn't matter if it is a Cfd or Spreadbet demo. All I want to do is to satisfy myself i can can make a viable return, before I hit the real money trading again.

Cheers

Mike

The only "unlimited" Demo i know is marketindex, but since they have just a few instruments listed (few indices, bonds, and FX) i guess it will not be very helpful for you.

I've heard that Delta Index will launch a completely new plattform - maybe you should knock on their doors.

Tradindex is the only one I can think of for demoing spreadbetting. Platform is rubbish, though.

Don't know this for sure but I gather some outfits will let you extend the demo period for not that much a month if you talk to them on the phone and hammer out a deal. Anyone have experience of this?

Yes, with some Broker it is possible to extend the Demo (Saxo Bank)
If you have a set of unused Mail-Addies you can also open a 2nd, 3rd etc DA @IG or any other.

Makes not really sense, but for those who need more training hours the only way to deal with this issue.

i have been demoing on Interbank FX (IBFX).
For 6 months and it still is working fine.
I have 7 different accounts there, trying different strategys on each one.

offers a full range of products

They only offer FX, right?

Anyone know of a spread betting firm that offers a demo account on binary trading? I have tried several well known spread companies,ie finspreads,city index,etc who whilst offering demo accounts exclude binarys,why?

Bull bearings offers a wide range of services for paper traders. spread betting, fx, cfd's and normal shares. i use it to try new stratagies and have done for over 2 years. There is no trading platform so to speak of but if you have a decent platform with somebody else you can use them for placing your paper trades

Just made a post elsewhere about demo binary betting accounts, but none are within a spreadbetting platform.

I'd forgotten about bullbearings - I must go over there and see if it's changed much - thanks.
