These accounts remain active for 180 days, allowing enough time to refine strategies and understand market dynamics. Users can open multiple demo accounts to explore diverse instruments and trading techniques.

Our platforms feature advanced charting tools, technical indicators, and automated trading options for thorough strategy testing. These features help Kenyan traders build confidence and skill before moving to real capital.
Creating Your FxPro Demo Account
Start by visiting our official FxPro website and selecting the demo account registration area. Choose your platform preference: MT4 for hedging strategies or MT5 for netting and enhanced features. Provide essential details such as full name, email, and Kenyan contact number to register. The process is straightforward and designed for quick setup.
Platform Selection Process
MT4 suits traders focusing on traditional forex with hedging and expert advisor support. MT5 offers more timeframes, an integrated economic calendar, and better order management. cTrader delivers ECN execution with Level II pricing and superior charting tools. Selecting the right platform impacts your trading tools and available functionalities.
Account Configuration Settings
Set your demo starting balance from $500 up to $100,000 based on intended trade volumes. Choose leverage between 1:1 and 1:500, aligning with your risk approach and Kenyan regulatory guidelines. Pick your account currency among USD, EUR, GBP, or AUD. Decide on execution type: netting consolidates positions in the same instrument, while hedging permits multiple concurrent positions.
After registration, download your selected platform software or use web access to begin trading immediately. Demo accounts activate instantly, providing real-time practice on Kenyan market hours and conditions.
