Open Demo Account with EC Markets in India

EC Markets Demo Account Overview

Opening a demo account with EC Markets gives Indian traders a risk-free environment. You can practice forex and CFD trading without real money. Our demo platform uses live market prices. You get virtual funds to test your strategies. This builds confidence before you trade with real capital.

The demo account is completely free. It stays active for 30 days from registration. You can request an extension if needed. No KYC documents are required for this account type. Simply register and start trading immediately.

EC Markets supports both MT4 and MT5 platforms. These are industry-standard tools used by traders worldwide. You can access over 100 instruments including forex pairs, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. The demo replicates our live environment with exact spreads and swap rates.

Your virtual deposit can be up to 50,000 USD. Leverage is configurable from 1:1 to 1:1000. We recommend starting at 1:100 for safe learning. The base currency is USD since INR is not available for offshore accounts. All settings can be adjusted later.

Step 1: Visit the Official EC Markets Website

Go to https://www.ecmarkets.com using your preferred browser. Confirm you are on the authentic EC Markets site. Look for the Register or Start Trading button at the top right corner. Click that button to begin the process. Avoid third-party links that may lead to phishing pages.

Our website supports both desktop and mobile browsers. The registration form loads quickly on all devices. You can switch between English and other languages from the top menu. India is listed in the country dropdown during registration. Make sure you select the correct option.

Bookmark the official URL for future visits. This ensures you always access the genuine platform. Our customer support team is available 24/5 if you face issues. You can also use the live chat feature for instant help. The website is secure with SSL encryption.

Step 2: Complete Registration

Enter Your Email and Password

On the registration form, provide a valid email address. Create a password between 6 and 20 characters. Use uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols for strength. Select India as your country of residence from the dropdown list. Click GET to receive a verification code via email.

The verification code expires in 15 minutes. Enter the code in the provided field promptly. This step confirms your identity and prevents fraudulent registrations. If you do not see the email, check your spam folder. You can request a new code if needed.

Fill Personal Details

After verification, enter your first name and last name exactly as on your ID. Select your gender and date of birth from the dropdowns. Provide your mobile number with the India +91 country code. Enter your residential address including city, state, and PIN code. Agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

No KYC documents are needed for a demo account. You can skip file uploads entirely. This makes the process fast and hassle-free. Your personal data is stored securely and never shared. You can update these details later from the client portal.

Answer Trading Experience Questions

For a demo account, you can skip the trading experience form. However, filling it helps us personalise your demo settings. Questions cover your trading frequency, instrument preference, and knowledge level. Later, when you open a live account, this form becomes mandatory. It ensures the products we offer are suitable for you.

Step 3: Choose Demo Account Settings

After registration, the system asks if you want a demo or live account. Select Demo to proceed. Then choose your trading platform: MT4 or MT5. MT4 is simpler for beginners. MT5 offers more advanced features and more timeframes. Both platforms are free to download and use.

Set your virtual deposit amount from the available options. You can choose 5,000, 10,000, 25,000, or 50,000 USD. Select your leverage level between 1:1 and 1:1000. We recommend 1:100 for safe learning. The base currency defaults to USD since INR is not supported for offshore accounts.

Choose your account type: Standard or ECN. Standard accounts have no commission but wider spreads. ECN accounts have lower spreads with a small commission per trade. For a demo, both types work identically. You can test both to see which suits your style.

• Trading platform: MT4 or MT5
• Virtual deposit: 5,000 / 10,000 / 25,000 / 50,000 USD
• Leverage: 1:1 to 1:1000 (recommend 1:100)
• Base currency: USD, EUR, GBP (not INR)
• Account type: Standard (no commission) or ECN (lower spreads with commission)

Review your selections before confirming. You can change these settings later from the client portal. The demo account is created instantly after confirmation. Your credentials are sent to your registered email. Keep this email safe for future reference.

Step 4: Download and Log into the Trading Platform

Your demo credentials include login ID, password, and server name. These are sent to your email after account creation. Download MT4 or MT5 from our official website. Install the software on your Windows, Mac, or mobile device. The installation process takes less than two minutes.

Open the platform application after installation. Click File and select Login to Trade Account. Enter your demo login ID and password in the fields provided. Select the correct server from the dropdown (e.g., ECMarkets-Demo or ECMarkets-Live01). Click OK to connect to our servers.

Step 5: Navigate the Demo Platform Interface

Market Watch Window

On the left side of the platform, you see a list of instruments. This is the Market Watch window. It displays forex pairs like EURUSD and GBPUSD. You also see indices such as US30 and DE40. Commodities like XAUUSD and XAGUSD are listed too.

Right-click inside the window and select Show All. This reveals the full list of 100+ symbols. You can hide instruments you do not trade. The window updates prices in real time. Click on any symbol to open its price chart.

Chart Window

Click on any instrument to open its price chart. You can change timeframes using the toolbar. Options include M1, M5, M15, H1, H4, D1, and W1. Right-click the chart for additional settings. Add indicators from the Navigator panel easily.

Popular indicators include Moving Average, Bollinger Bands, and RSI. You can resize charts or tile multiple charts for comparison. Drawing tools are available for technical analysis. Save your chart templates for future use. The chart window is fully customisable.

Terminal Window

The Terminal window sits at the bottom of the platform. The Trade tab shows your open positions and account status. You see balance, equity, margin, and free margin in real time. The Account History tab displays past closed trades. The Journal tab logs connection and order execution messages.

Step 6: Place Your First Demo Trade

To place a trade, right-click on a chart or press F9. The order window appears immediately. Select the instrument you want to trade (e.g., EURUSD). Set your trade volume starting at 0.01 lots. Choose Buy if you expect prices to rise, Sell if you expect a fall.

Set Stop Loss and Take Profit levels using price distance or points. Select Market Execution for an instant order at the current price. Click Sell by Market or Buy by Market to confirm. Your trade appears instantly in the Terminal under the Trade tab. You can modify or close it from there.

• Open order window: F9 or double-click symbol in Market Watch
• Set volume: 0.01 (micro lot) = 1,000 units
• Set Stop Loss: e.g., 20 pips below entry (for Buy)
• Set Take Profit: e.g., 40 pips above entry
• Choose order type: Market (instant) or Pending (Limit/Stop)
• Confirm: click Sell or Buy button
• Monitor trade: check Balance, Equity, Margin in Terminal

Practice with small volumes first. This helps you understand how trades work. Monitor your profit or loss in the Terminal window. Use Stop Loss to manage your risk. Take Profit locks in gains automatically.

You can also place pending orders. These execute when price reaches a specific level. Choose Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop, or Sell Stop. Set the price level and expiry time. Pending orders are useful for breakout strategies.
