How to open a Weltrade demo account
On the website
- Register or log in to your Personal Profile on weltrade.com.
- Go to Dashboard → My accounts → Demo → Open New Demo Account.
- Choose the settings (see below) and confirm.
- The account appears in your list immediately, pre-funded with virtual money.
In the mobile app
Log in to the Weltrade app, tap the option to open a new demo account, select your settings and confirm.
Which settings to choose
| Setting | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Platform | MT5 — it supports every account type, including SyntX |
| Account type | The same type you plan to use for real (e.g. Pro or SyntX) |
| Currency | USD, same as your future real account |
| Virtual balance | A realistic amount you would actually deposit, not the maximum |
| Leverage | The same leverage you plan to use; options such as 1:100, 1:500, 1:1000 |
The most common demo mistake is training with $100,000 and huge leverage, then trading $100 for real. Your demo should copy your real conditions.
Logging in to the demo in MT4/MT5
Your demo account number, trader password and demo server name are shown in the Personal Profile. In MetaTrader choose File → Login to Trade Account, select the demo server (not the live one) and enter the details. Using the live server for a demo account is the main reason for “invalid account” errors.
SyntX demo
If you are interested in synthetic indices (FX Vol, PainX/GainX, FlipX…), open a SyntX demo. These instruments trade 24/7 with 1:10000 leverage on the real account, so practice is essential before going live.
Weltrade demo contests
Weltrade has a long history of demo trading contests, where traders compete on demo accounts for real cash prizes. They are a risk-free way to test a strategy under pressure. Contests run periodically; check the Promotions section of your Personal Profile for current ones and read the rules — prizes are usually credited to a real account with conditions.
Demo vs real account
- Execution: demo fills can be smoother than real ones, especially during news.
- Psychology: losing virtual money feels very different from losing real money.
- Expiry: some demo accounts may expire after a period of inactivity.
When to switch to a real account
- You have followed one strategy for at least several weeks with consistent rules.
- You know your average loss, win rate and maximum drawdown.
- You can calculate lot size from risk per trade.
Then start with a small real balance — Weltrade’s Micro and Cent accounts start from $1 and Pro from $10. Compare them in Weltrade account types.
FAQ
Is the Weltrade demo account free?
Yes. It is funded with virtual money and requires only a Personal Profile.
Can I open a SyntX demo account?
Yes, SyntX is among the account types available for demo trading on MT5.
Does the Weltrade demo account expire?
Duration depends on platform rules; inactive demo accounts may expire. You can always open a new one.
Risk warning: demo results do not guarantee real results. CFDs and synthetic indices carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.
