Risk Management Tools and Features

Our demo platform includes comprehensive risk management tools essential for successful trading. Stop-loss orders automatically close positions when predetermined loss levels are reached. Take-profit orders secure gains by closing profitable positions at specified price targets.

Position Sizing and Leverage Control

Demo accounts allow testing of various position sizes and leverage ratios. UK regulatory requirements limit maximum leverage to 1:30 for major currency pairs and 1:20 for minor pairs. These restrictions apply to both demo and live accounts, ensuring realistic practice conditions.

Margin calculation tools display required margin amounts before order execution. This feature helps prevent over-leveraging and promotes responsible trading practices. The platform automatically prevents opening positions that would exceed available margin requirements.

Advanced Order Types

We support multiple order types including market orders, pending orders, and conditional orders. Stop orders activate when prices reach specified levels, while limit orders execute at predetermined price points. Trailing stops automatically adjust stop-loss levels as positions move in your favour.

One-click trading functionality enables rapid order execution during volatile market conditions. You can preset order sizes and risk parameters for immediate position opening. This feature proves particularly valuable when practising scalping or news-based trading strategies.

Technical Analysis and Charting Tools

Our demo platform provides professional-grade charting capabilities with multiple timeframes from 1-minute to monthly charts. You can apply various chart types including candlesticks, bars, and line charts. The platform supports multiple chart windows for simultaneous analysis of different instruments or timeframes.

Technical indicators include moving averages, oscillators, trend indicators, and volume-based tools. Custom indicator development is supported through the MQL programming language. You can save and share custom indicators with other traders or import indicators from external sources.

Drawing tools enable identification of support and resistance levels, trend lines, and chart patterns. Fibonacci retracement and extension tools help identify potential reversal points. All drawings and annotations are saved automatically and remain visible across trading sessions.

The economic calendar integration highlights upcoming news events that may impact your selected instruments. Event importance levels range from low to high impact, with historical data showing typical market reactions. This information helps plan trading activities around significant market events.

We encourage UK traders to utilise our demo account services for developing and refining trading strategies before committing real capital. Our platform provides an authentic trading environment with real market conditions, comprehensive educational resources, and professional-grade tools essential for trading success.
