What is identical
It is the same terminal, the same price source, the same settlement rule and the same payout table. The only difference is which balance settles your orders and which limits apply.
What the practice account is for
Mechanics only: the order ticket, the term steps, the payout display, the receipt and the snapshot lookup. It is not a simulator with invented prices and it is not a preview of a different product — it is the same terminal, funding a different balance.
How to get a practice account
Two steps. First register an account — an email and a password is all it takes. Then open your account page and request the practice account from the balance section. It is issued with the same terms as a live account and needs no document.
What it is, and what it is not
It is the live terminal pointed at a separate balance: same price source, same term steps, same payout table, same receipts and the same snapshot lookup. It is not a separate product, not a bonus balance, and it carries no turnover condition — you can never deposit into it or withdraw from it.
When to move to a funded account
The honest answer: when you can state your rules out loud and follow them for a month without breaking one. Not after a good week. A good week on a practice balance is the weakest evidence there is, and a funded account is the most expensive place to discover that.
Do I have to ask for it?
Yes, it is issued on request rather than attached automatically to every registration, so that nobody is handed a balance they did not ask for and no incentive is attached to holding one.
Is the practice price delayed?
No. Same feed, same latency, same settlement source. A delayed or smoothed price teaches habits that break the moment real money is on the line.
Can I have more than ten thousand?
No. The starting balance is fixed so that everyone is comparing the same thing. If you need bigger numbers to feel the position, that is worth noticing before you fund a real account.
Do practice results count for anything?
Not for us. Your statement is yours to read, and we do not use it for promotions, leaderboards or anything else. A number that earns a prize is a number you will start managing differently.
