บัญชีทดลองใน forex คืออะไร?

คำแนะนำในการเปิดบัญชี forex

คุณไม่จำเป็นต้องใช้เงินของคุณเองกับ forex ตั้งแต่ตอนเริ่มต้นเส้นทางการซื้อขายของคุณ โบรกเกอร์ส่วนใหญ่เสนอบัญชีทดลองให้คุณ ซึ่งจะช่วยให้คุณได้มาลองทดสอบในตลาด forex ด้วยเงินเสมือนโดยใช้ข้อมูลจากตลาดจริง การใช้บัญชีทดลองนั้นเป็นวิธีที่ดีในการเรียนรู้วิธีการซื้อขาย คุณจะสามารถฝึกฝนได้จากข้อมูลจริง แต่ไม่มีความเสี่ยงที่จะสูญเสียเงินไปจริงๆ ด้วยวิธีนี้คุณจะสามารถเรียนรู้ทุกสิ่งที่คุณต้องการ เพื่อที่จะได้เป็นเทรดเดอร์ forex มือโปรได้เร็วมากขึ้น หากต้องการลองใช้บัญชีนี้ ให้เลือก ทดลอง เมื่อ ลงทะเบียนบัญชี กับ FBS

ข้อดีและข้อเสียในการซื้อขายแบบทดลอง

ประการแรก บัญชีทดลองเสนอเงินให้เป็นจำนวนมากเกินกว่าที่เทรดเดอร์จะใช้ในระหว่างการเทรดจริง เนื่องจากเทรดเดอร์สามารถเลือกจำนวนเงินเท่าไรก็ได้เพื่อใช้ในการฝึกฝน อย่างไรก็ตามผู้คนมักจะเลือกมากกว่าที่จะพวกเขาจะใช้เทรดในชีวิตจริง พวกเขานำเงินที่ได้เพิ่มมาเหล่านี้เพื่อรองรับความผิดพลาด แต่ในบัญชีจริง (ในชีวิตจริง) เทรดเดอร์จะไม่ได้มีเงินมากมายเอาไว้ใช้เพื่อรองรับความผิดพลาดของพวกเขาเองหรอกนะ ยิ่งไปกว่านั้นด้วยเงินทุนที่มีเป็นจำนวนมาก เทรดเดอร์จะไม่เข้าใจถึงการสูญเสียอย่างแท้จริงได้ เนื่องจากการสูญเสียดังกล่าวสามารถฟื้นคืนกลับมาจากเงินทุนก้อนใหญ่ได้ง่ายกว่าทุนก้อนเล็ก

ประการที่สองการซื้อขายด้วยบัญชีทดลองทำให้ขาดอารมณ์ร่วมที่แท้จริงไป เพราะเมื่อคุณไม่มีอะไรที่จะเสีย คุณก็จะไม่รู้สึกกลัวอะไร ซึ่งความกลัวนั้นมีอิทธิพลต่อพฤติกรรมของเทรดเดอร์ และมีเทรดเดอร์จำนวนไม่มากนักที่สามารถควบคุมอารมณ์ของพวกเขาได้ ด้วยเหตุนี้มันจึงไม่ค่อยสมเหตุสมผลนักที่จะฝึกฝนทักษะของคุณ ในขณะที่คุณไม่ทราบว่าคุณจะทำตัวอย่างไรในสถานการณ์ที่คุณจะต้องตกอยู่ภายใต้ความกดดันมากมาย

จะได้รับประโยชน์จากบัญชีทดลองได้อย่างไร?

เลือกจำนวนเงินจำนวนเดียวกับที่คุณจะใช้ลงทุนในบัญชีจริง

ลองจินตนาการว่าเงินที่คุณมีในบัญชีทดลองนั้นเป็นของจริง และผลกำไรและการสูญเสียที่ได้รับก็เป็นของจริงเช่นกัน

โปรดจำไว้ว่าหากคุณไม่ได้รับผลกำไรจากบัญชีทดลอง คุณก็จะไม่สามารถทำกำไรด้วยบัญชีจริงได้เช่นกัน ดังนั้นพยายามเรียนรู้การซื้อขาย forex และพัฒนาไปพร้อมๆ กับการใช้บัญชีทดลอง

ยิ่งไปกว่านั้น กับ FBS คุณสามารถทำกำไรได้จริงจากบัญชีทดลอง โดยเรามีการจัดการแข่งขัน FBS league ขึ้นในบรรดาเทรดเดอร์ที่ใช้บัญชีทดลองเดือนละสองครั้ง คุณสามารถเข้าร่วมแบบเดี่ยวหรือแบบทีมก็ได้ และทำเงินได้ถึง $900 ในคราวเดียว!

เทรดเดอร์ควรใช้บัญชีทดลองเมื่อไหร่?

หากคุณไม่ทราบวิธีในการที่จะเทรดบนแพลตฟอร์มการซื้อขาย บัญชีทดลองจะช่วยให้คุณได้เรียนรู้คุณสมบัติของมัน และหลีกเลี่ยงการเทรดโดยที่ไม่ได้ตั้งใจได้

หากคุณต้องการเริ่มใช้กลยุทธ์การซื้อขายแบบใหม่ๆ และต้องการดูว่ามันเหมาะกับคุณไหม คุณสามารถใช้บัญชีทดลองเพื่อทดสอบกลยุทธ์นี้ได้ หลังจากนั้นคุณอาจลองใช้กลยุทธ์ในแบบเรียลไทม์ดู แน่นอนว่าการทดสอบดังกล่าวไม่สามารถรับประกันได้ 100% ว่ากลยุทธ์นั้นดี แต่ก็ดีกว่าไม่ได้ทำอะไรเลย

หากคุณตัดสินใจที่จะใช้โปรแกรมการเทรดอัตโนมัติ คุณสามารถลองทดสอบมันได้ในบัญชีทดลอง โปรแกรมการเทรดเป็นหุ่นยนต์/ที่ปรึกษาผู้เชี่ยวชาญ ที่จะไม่ได้รับผลกระทบจากอารมณ์ ไม่ว่าคุณจะนำมันไปใช้ในบัญชีทดลองหรือว่าบัญชีจริงก็ตาม

หากคุณมาที่ตลาด forex เพียงเพื่อที่จะลองทดสอบทักษะของคุณ และมาเล่นกับอัตราแลกเปลี่ยน โดยเมื่อคุณไม่ได้ทำการเทรดอย่างจริงจัง คุณอาจจะประสบกับการสูญเสียครั้งใหญ่ได้ หากคุณเห็นว่ามันเป็นแค่เกม ให้ไปเล่นมันบนบัญชีทดลอง

บัญชีทดลองเป็นตัวเลือกที่ดีสำหรับการฝึกฝนและเริ่มต้นอาชีพการเทรดของคุณ คุณสามารถทดสอบกลยุทธ์ของคุณได้โดยไม่ต้องเสียเงินเลย เพียงแค่จำเกี่ยวกับข้อเสียที่คุณอาจเผชิญในการเทรดแบบทดลองไว้

ให้ความสนใจกับข้อเท็จจริงที่ว่า การฝากเงินขั้นต่ำที่ FBS นั้นเริ่มต้นเพียง $1 ในบัญชีจริง คุณสามารถเริ่มต้นอาชีพการเทรดของคุณจากเงินเพียงเล็กน้อย ดังนั้นคุณจึงสามารถที่จะจำกัดความเสี่ยงของคุณได้ ในขณะที่ก็มีโอกาสที่จะได้รับผลกำไรจากบัญชีจริงด้วย!

FBS demo account - opening tutorial and review (2021)

Selecting the best forex broker is never an easy task.

This is why many choose to open a demo account first from the many FBS account types available.

If you have decided to open an FBS demo account, that’s great! We have even included FBS in our list of the best free forex demo accounts.

With the help of this step-by-step tutorial (combined with our FBS review) we hope to make the opening process very easy.

74-89% of retail CFD accounts lose money

FBS demo account opening tutorial

The process of FBS account opening for a demo is actually very straight forward. Nevertheless, we have provided each step of the process along with detailed images for your assistance.

This should make opening an FBS demo account a real breeze for everyone, even more so if you do it after reading our FBS broker review.

So, here we are. Let’s get started on opening your demo account with FBS:

Step 1 – getting started with your FBS demo account

Your very first destination when opening an FBS demo account should be the broker homepage. Your experience may be slightly different depending on your location.

If you are within europe, you will be directed to the cysec regulated FBS site. Here you simply click the button as highlighted below and you will be started on your demo journey.

The only slight difference in the process of registering a forex demo account as an international user comes at this point where you will be presented with a different homepage. You simply need to scroll a little down the page to about the midway point where you will see the demo account option as shown below:

Step 2 – FBS demo account – what documents/information do you need?

Actually, you will not be needing any documents as such when you choose to open an FBS demo account.

What you will need is an email address which you can confirm in order to activate your FBS demo account.

Naturally, after trying out your demo account in the provided period, if you then want to proceed with opening an FBS live account, there are a few documents you will need to submit. There include your proof of ID and address.

Step 3 – fill in registration form

So, after clicking on the “open demo account” button as shown above for EU users, the next screen you will be greeted by is a very simple registration form.

As you can notice, this is a very simple form which should be fast to complete. All you need to do is enter your name and email address. At this point you can also select between an FBS standard demo account or an FBS micro demo account. The choice is yours.

You should then check the two boxes at the bottom and click “open an account”. You will then be directed to the next step.

Step 4 – confirm the account via email/telephone

The next step in the process of opening your FBS demo account is to confirm the email address which you provided in the previous step. This has to be done before you can activate and log-in to your new FBS demo account.

The email you receive should look like the one below:

Once you see this, just click on the “confirm email” button and you are good to go. It really is as easy as that.

Once you have confirmed the email, you will be presented with a confirmation screen like the one below. This indicates that you have now completed the FBS demo account opening process.

Once you have collected your platform information and passwords from here you can just head back to the log-in screen at your FBS site. There you will log-in to your FBS dashboard using the information which you set during registration.

Step 6 – choosing your FBS demo account platform

After your first successful FBS demo account log-in you will see your account dashboard. ON the left side, simply click the “trading platforms” button. On doing that you will notice the following screen:

All you have to do is click on the related trading platform you want to use, download it, and use the details provided during confirmation to log-in and start trading on your demo trading account.

FBS demo account review

Now that you have hopefully completed the account opening process, let’s take a deeper look inside what you can expect from your FBS demo account.

What types of FBS demo account are available?

If you are a europe-based FBS trader then every account type there will be available for you to open a demo account. This means you could open a standard or FBS micro demo account.

If you are an international trader operating from FBS.Com, you will also be able to open every type of account as a demo. This means you will have access to FBS cent account, standard, micro, zero and FBS ECN accounts to try out on a demo basis.

FBS demo account features, restrictions and differences with live account

An FBS demo account has all of the same benefits as you would expect from a live account. There are no particular restrictions which you need to look out for when operating through a demo account with FBS.

The one differing point as with that of any demo account with major brokers is the fact that slippage could occur. This is the difference between the price at the time when you make a trade, and the time when it is actually executed.

Nevertheless this should be very minimal and only happens on rare occasions or during high volatility periods.

Advantages of trading with an FBS demo account

There are several advantages when it comes to trading through an FBS demo account.

These center around the fact that this account risks none of your real funds, yet still provides access to a fully functioning account with all of the same features as an FBS live account.

This makes the FBS demo account opening a very practical and beneficial idea. It allows you to practice and replicate many of the scenarios which you may encounter in the real market but without the risk.

In the long-term, this will undeniably help you to learn more about forex trading, FBS broker itself, and how to use the trading platforms. It will hopefully lead to eliminating mistakes and making you a better live trader overall.

FBS demo account management

Once you have gotten to grips with your new demo account and all of its features, you may be wondering about how long you can keep your demo trading account open or how to restore an FBS demo account. Here we have covered those issues to help you along.

Expiring time

The FBS demo account expiration again depends on where you are based. For those who are within europe and operating under cysec regulations, you will have access to your demo trading account for a 90-day period. The account will then expire after 90 days. At this point you can still create a new FBS demo account if you want to continue your practice.

If you are operating under FBS as an international trader, your demo account will be limited to a 45 day period. Again however after the 45 day period runs out, you can create a new FBS demo account to keep trading through.

Restoring expired demo accounts

As FBS demo accounts do not expire due to inactivity, you should not be faced with the situation of having to restore it. As mentioned above though, if you do face any problems, you can simply follow the process to open a new FBS demo account easily.

What is a demo account on forex?

The instructions for opening a forex account

You don’t have to spend your own money on forex right from the beginning of your trading journey. Most brokers offer you demo accounts, which let you test out the forex market with virtual money using real market data. Using a demo account is a good way to learn how to trade. You will be able to practice on real data, but without any real risk of losing money. In such way you will be able to learn everything you need to be a forex pro much faster. To try this account, choose demo upon registering an account with FBS.

Demo trading pros and cons

A demo account gives you a perfect way to practice your trading skills without wasting real money.

It sounds tempting, but there are some pitfalls to consider.

First of all, demo accounts offer a bigger amount of money than a trader will use during a real trade, because trader can choose any amount of money for practice. However, people often choose more than they will really trade with in real life. They take extra money for mistakes. But on the real (live) accounts, traders won’t have so many money for their faults. Moreover, with such a big capital, trader doesn’t understand the real losses as they are easier recouped by a big capital than by a small one.

Secondly, demo account trading lacks real emotions. There is no fear when you have nothing to lose. Fear influences trader’s behavior and not many traders can control their emotions. As a result, it doesn’t make much sense to practice your skills when you do not know how you will behave in situation where you will be under a lot of pressure.

How to benefit with a demo account?

If you follow several rules, the demo account can be a really useful tool for practice.

Choose the same amount of money as the one you will have on the real account.

Try to imagine that the money you have on the demo account is real and profits and losses are real too.

Remember that if you failed to gain profit on a demo account, you will not be able to do it on the real one, so try to learn forex trading and evolve while using the demo account.

Moreover, with FBS you can make real profit on demo account. We have FBS league contest going on among demo traders twice a month. You can join it solo or in the team and make up to $900 in one tour!

When trader needs to use a demo account?

There are various situations when you should use the demo account first.

If you have no idea how to trade on a trading platform a demo account will help to you learn its features and avoid accidental trades.

If you want to start using a new trading strategy and want to see whether it works for you. You can use demo account to test this strategy. Afterwards, you may try the strategy in real time. Of course, such test won’t give you a 100% guarantee that the strategy is good, but it’s better than nothing.

If you decided to use an automated trading program, you can test it on the demo account. Trading program is a robot/expert advisor that is not affected by emotions. It does not matter whether you implement it on demo or real accounts.

If you came to the forex market just to check your skills and play on the exchange rates. When you do not take trading seriously you may suffer great losses. If you see it as a game, play it on the demo one.

Demo account is a good option for training and beginning of your trading career. You can test your strategies without losing any money. Just remember about the disadvantages you may face with demo trading.

Pay attention to the fact that the minimum deposit at FBS starts from just $1 on real accounts. You can start your trading career with a little money. So, you can limit your risks, while having a real chance to get profits on real account!

Qu'est-ce qu'un compte de démonstration sur le forex ?

Les instructions pour l'ouverture d'un compte forex

Vous n'avez pas à dépenser votre propre argent sur le forex dès le début de votre parcours de trader. La plupart des courtiers proposent des comptes démo qui vous permettront de vous entraîner au trading sur le marché du forex avec de l'argent virtuel tout en utilisant les données réelles du marché. Débuter avec un compte démo est un bon moyen pour apprendre à trader. Vous pourrez vous entraîner avec des données réelles, mais sans risque de perdre de l’argent réel. De cette façon, vous pourrez apprendre beaucoup plus rapidement tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour devenir un pro du forex. Pour essayer ce type de compte, choisissez démo lorsque vous enregistrer un compte avec FBS.

Avantages et inconvénients du trading avec un compte de démonstration

Un compte de démonstration vous permet d'exercer vos talents de trader sans gaspiller d'argent réel.

Cela semble tentant, mais il y a quelques pièges à éviter.

Tout d'abord, les comptes de démonstration offrent une somme d'argent plus importante que celle qu'un trader utilisera lorsqu’il tardera pour de vrai, car le trader peut choisir n'importe quelle somme d'argent pour s'entraîner. Néanmoins, les gens choisissent souvent plus que ce avec quoi ils vont réellement trader dans la vie réelle. Ils prennent de l'argent extra pour corriger leurs erreurs. Mais sur les comptes réels, les traders n'auront pas autant d'argent pour corriger leurs erreurs. De plus, avec un capital aussi important, il est difficile pour le trader de mesurer les pertes réelles, car il est plus facile de les récupérer avec un gros capital qu'avec un petit.

Deuxièmement, le trading sur un compte démo ne permet pas de ressentir de véritables émotions. Il n'y a pas de peur quand vous n'avez rien à perdre. La peur influence le comportement du trader et peu de traders peuvent contrôler leurs émotions. Par conséquent, il n'est pas très judicieux de mettre vos compétences en pratique lorsque vous ne savez pas comment vous vous comporterez dans une situation où vous serez soumis à une forte pression.

Comment tirer profit d'un compte de démonstration ?

Si vous suivez plusieurs règles, un compte de démonstration peut être un outil très utile pour la pratique.

Choisissez la même somme d'argent que celle que vous aurez sur un compte réel.

Essayez d'imaginer que l'argent que vous avez sur le compte de démonstration est réel et que les profits et les pertes le sont aussi.

N'oubliez pas que si vous n'avez pas réussi à faire des bénéfices sur un compte de démonstration, vous ne pourrez pas en faire sur un compte réel. Essayez donc d'apprendre à trader sur le forex et d'évoluer tout en utilisant un compte de démonstration.

De plus, avec FBS, vous pouvez faire des bénéfices réels avec un compte de démonstration. Nous organisons le concours FBS league parmi les traders titulaires de comptes démo deux fois par mois. Vous pouvez y participer en solo ou en équipe et gagner jusqu'à 900 $ en une seule tournée !

Quand faut-il utiliser un compte de démonstration ?

Il existe différentes situations dans lesquelles vous devez d'abord utiliser un compte de démonstration.

Si vous ne savez pas comment trader sur une plate-forme de trading un compte de démonstration vous permettra de vous familiariser avec ses caractéristiques ainsi que d'éviter les transactions accidentelles.

Si vous voulez commencer à utiliser une nouvelle stratégie de trading et que vous voulez voir si elle vous convient. Vous pouvez utiliser un compte de démonstration pour tester cette stratégie. Ensuite, vous pourrez tester la stratégie avec un compte réel. Bien sûr, un tel test ne vous donnera pas une garantie à 100% que la stratégie fonctionne, mais c'est mieux que rien.

Si vous avez décidé d'utiliser un programme de trading automatisé, vous pouvez le tester sur le compte de démonstration. Le programme de trading est un robot/expert conseiller qui n'est pas affecté par les émotions. Peu importe que vous l’utiliser sur des comptes de démonstration ou des comptes réels.

Si vous êtes venu sur le marché du forex juste pour vérifier vos compétences et jouer sur les taux de change. Si vous ne prenez pas le trading au sérieux, vous risquez de subir des pertes importantes. Si vous voyez le trading comme un jeu, jouez-y avec un compte démo.

Un compte de démonstration est une bonne option pour se former et débuter sa carrière de trader. Vous pouvez tester vos stratégies sans perdre d'argent. N'oubliez pas les inconvénients auxquels vous pouvez faire face lorsque vous tradez avec un compte de démonstration.

Faites attention au fait que le dépôt minimum chez FBS commence à partir de seulement 1 $ sur les comptes réels. Vous pouvez commencer votre carrière de trader avec un peu d'argent. Ainsi, vous pouvez limiter vos risques, tout en ayant une réelle chance de faire des bénéfices sur un compte réel !

So, you have decided to take the next step in your trading career and open an FBS live account?

As we know that this can be a big moment for you personally and in terms of your trading future, we have decided to help you get started as much as possible.

That is why we have developed FBS live account opening tutorial. It will help you navigate some of the choices you have to make for opening your live account, and choosing one of the many FBS account types available.

Let’s get right to it. Here is our FBS live account tutorial:

74-89% of retail CFD accounts lose money

FBS live account review – things to consider first

Before getting started on anything, there are always a few points to consider. Thinking of these things ahead of the FBS account opening process is simply the best practice to make sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.

Consider opening a FBS demo account first

An FBS demo account really is the best way to get to know your trading environment better without taking any risk with your funds.

The FBS demo account perfectly replicates the live trading environment and provides the same account selection with all of the same excellent features.

FBS demo account opening absolutely is one of the best ways to hone your trading skills and knowledge prior to progressing through to an FBS live account. It is definitely a path which you should consider.

Things you should prepare before opening a FBS live account

As with any of the best forex brokers, FBS is well regulated. This comes in the form of both cysec and IFSC regulation which helps to cover and protect all traders.

Part of that regulation and a positive mark for the transparency of FBS broker operations is that you do require a couple of documents in order to fully open and verify your account. Preparing these in advance can save you a lot of time.

You will need the following:

Proof of ID documentation (valid passport or driver’s license would be perfect)

Proof of residence documentation (dated utility bill or bank statement less than three-months old would be perfect)

A valid bank card (pictures of front and back required)

Your national client identifier number

With these documents prepared, you are in a great position to start the FBS live account opening process.

Where is FBS available?

FBS are a major forex broker and typically available in most countries around the world. There are a few exceptions to this, and so., FBS broker is not available in the following places:

Canada

Japan

Myanmar

Brazil

Malaysia

Israel

Iran

Traders located in any other country can trade freely with FBS.

European and international market

Depending on your location, you will notice some differences in the services offered by FBS. This is because the company operates under two different areas. One of these being cysec regulated for european traders, and the other being IFSC regulation for international traders.

The availability of services from FBS live accounts are not specifically determined by the prohibition of cysec regulation (except in the case of bonuses and leverage), but simply because FBS has yet to implement its full range of options in both areas. This is something which they are working hard on and hope to have available very soon.

Base currencies

The base currencies available through your FBS live account will differ slightly depending upon if you are european or international based.

In the european case, you can only use euro as your base currency. It is not possible to convert other currencies.

As an international trader using the IFSC account, you can have euro or US dollar as your base currency. You can also convert other currencies (with a fee) to one of these two.

If you are wondering about ZAR for FBS south africa traders, you cannot trade directly in ZAR, but you can convert it to either USD or EUR.

Looking for an account suited for indonesia?

If you are indonesian, then FBS indonesian account option is perfect for you. You must be indonesian and living there to use this option and it allows you a fix-rate currency exchange of 1 USD-1,000 IDR for trading.

This option cannot be changed once activated.

FBS live account opening tutorial

Now that we have cleared some initial starting points, let’s get down to business with the FBS live account opening tutorial:

Step 1 – completing your personal information

The very first step in the FBS account opening process which you will need to undertake is to head on over to the FBS homepage for your jurisdiction (.Eu for europe, .Com for international). Once you have done this, just click on “open account”. The first image is for the EU site:

And click here for the international site as shown:

Step 2 – registration and confirming your email

The very next thing you will do no matter where you are based is to complete a very simple registration form as shown below. This includes just your full name and email address. Make sure you can verify he email address which you enter.

European trader

If you are an european trader, your next stop will be to verify the email address you just entered. You should have received an email like the one below. Simply click the confirmation link and head back to log in to your account and complete the next step.

International trader

You can simply proceed directly to the next step.

Step 3- completing your FBS live account profile

The next step in the FBS live account creation process is to complete your live account profile. This is really only required in detail for european traders. If you are an international trader, it is not mandated for you to complete an in-depth personal profile and it is likely you can skip straight to choosing your trading platform and uploading your verification documents as outlined in the next steps.

For a european-based trader, the process of completing your live account profile is a three-step one. Having confirmed your email address and logged in to your FBS live account for the first time, you will be presented with the option to “take survey”. This is your live account profile and has to be completed.

The first stage details your personal information a little more depth, including your address and telephone number as shown below. This number will also need to be verified.

The second and third stages of your live account profile completion detail around 10-15 questions related to your employment, trading experience, and a few simple quiz style questions related to trading. This all helps the broker both tailor services to best suit you, and comply with regulation. The images are shared below of each step for your reference.

Step 4 – choose your trading platform

With your live account profile completed you can move straight to selecting your trading platform. You will see this option on the left side of your account dashboard. Just click on “trading platform” and you will be met with the following screen:

Here you can choose your favored platform and proceed to download it, logging in with the details you will have already received on account creation.

Step 5 – uploading your documents to verify your FBS live account

One of the last steps in the FBS live account opening process, and perhaps one of the most daunting for people even though it is relatively simple, is uploading your verification documents. Again we will branch into two sections to go through this one.

European trader

As a european trader once you click the verification button, you will see a screen as below with three separate tabs detailing documents to be uploaded. These are your ID proof, residence proof, and bank card images. Complete one section upload before moving to the next.

The ID and residence documents are as mentioned above, with your passport and a utility bill being the best choice. Ensure to follow the quality rules listed too!

For your bank card, a picture of the front and back will also be required. This helps develop an extra layer of security.

International trader

As an international trader, clicking the verification button will bring up the same screen, but with only one document required. That is your ID proof such as your passport.

Once the documents are uploaded, you are very close to the finish line.

Step 6 – verification pending: your FBS live account is almost ready

Once your documents have been submitted, they will be checked by the FBS live account team. This should take no more than 24 hours in the majority of cases.

Once this is done, you are ready to rock!

Time to start trading on your new FBS live account.

Verifying your FBS live account faster

FBS verification should actually be quite a fast process anyway. With that said, there are always a couple of things you can do to try and speed things along. These include the following:

Make sure all your documents are valid and in-date.

Use your passport if possible

Take clear pictures and make sure the issue date is shown on your residence documents.

Ensure that these residence documents have been issued in the last 3 months where possible.

Check above for documents to prepare before starting to make sure you have everything ready.

Our opinions on FBS live account

Finally, now that we have hopefully helped you get your FBS live account up and running. Here is our opinion on some of the features and why you might want to trade with FBS.

Advantages of live trading at FBS

There are many great advantages to be had from trading with FBS. This applies whether you are EU or international based.

The european side is catching up fast and still offers an excellent range of markets and with all of the security and transparency which cysec regulation provides.

As an international trader there are two particularly great points. One is the huge range of bonuses you can access. These even include winning real life prizes like cars, vacations, and rolex watches. Amazing stuff!

The second top benefit is the access to truly massive leverage (1:3000 in many markets). This really can help provide a springboard for you to launch your trading career.

What should I look for in A forex demo account?

The most important element when looking for the best forex demo accounts is to consider the platforms offered. The trading platform is what you will be using to trade, so it is important to choose a platform you are comfortable using. Traders generally have a personal preference to metatrader 4, metatrader 5 or ctrader trading platforms.

The second important factor is the features within the demo account that will replicate a real trading environment in the CFD and forex market. This includes what access how similar the spreads are to real markets, available leverage, customer service and risk management tools. Like choosing the best forex platform for you when forex trading, having the right features within the platform to suit your forex strategy can be critical to future success.

A third factor is execution speed which helps traders make fast trades with reduced slippage in higher volatility markets that can carry high risk. A demo account should simulate real trading conditions. This means taking spreads from real markets so you can learn how cfds work in the real world.

The final factor is the expiration date of the demo account and how much virtual currency is available. Some demo accounts are only valid for one month while others are unlimited.

Why are demo accounts so important?

Trading financial instruments such as forex and shares is a high-risk investment, especially if you are exploring different forex and CFD markets for the first time. Forex and CFD markets such as cryptocurrency are high-risk environments, therefore traders should be cautious when taking on highly leveraged positions. Leverage is a complex instrument, so it’s important to understand there are risks of losing more money than you originally deposited in your trading account. It is important to get experience trading using a demo account, so you are well equipped to deal with the volatility and the high-risk nature of financial markets before signing up for a real account or live account.

Understanding Volatility With A Demo Account

Learning to trade forex can be achieved by reading and research as well as utilising forex brokers educational tools such as webinars, faqs, ebooks, online courses. However, the most effective way is to practice trading via a demo account, allowing you to develop strategies and your trading style. Demo accounts allow users to familiarise themselves with various markets and trading platforms. Virtual money accounts are suitable for levels of experience, and we encourage you to practice trading with a forex broker listed above prior to trading with real money.
