Demo Account Features and Setup

The demo account offers risk-free practice with virtual capital of $10,000. It simulates live market conditions including price feeds and execution speeds. This helps traders in Uganda familiarize themselves with our platform and test strategies without financial risk.

Creating Your Demo Account

To open a demo account, visit the FBS website and click the “Open Demo Account” button. Fill in your email, phone number, and password, selecting Uganda as your country. Choose MetaTrader 4 or 5 as your preferred platform. Confirm your email via the activation link sent within minutes.

Demo Account Limitations

Demo accounts expire after 30 days of inactivity but can be reactivated by logging in or contacting support. Virtual funds are non-withdrawable and results do not reflect real trading outcomes. Advanced features like VPS hosting and premium analytics are exclusive to live accounts.

Micro Account Specifications

Micro accounts enable Ugandan traders to start with a minimum deposit of $1. The minimum trade size is 0.01 lots, allowing precise risk control for small capital investments. Spreads begin at 3 pips on major pairs such as EUR/USD and USD/JPY.

Zero Spread Account Benefits

Zero Spread accounts offer trading without bid-ask spreads on major forex pairs, charging fixed commissions per trade. This account suits scalpers and high-frequency traders focused on minimizing execution costs.

Commissions are $20 per standard lot round turn ($10 per side) on major pairs. Minor and exotic currencies have higher rates up to $50 per lot. CFD instruments retain spread-based pricing without extra commission charges, all transparently displayed in platform windows.
