Why the demo account?

Purple Trading’s demo account for the cTrader platform offers identical functions as its real account counterpart. The only (and also the main) difference is that you don’t use real money on the demo account. Instead, you are trading with virtual currency which can be topped up on demand. All you need to do is contact our customer care. That’s also the reason why the demo account is the ideal choice for beginner traders.

Demo account created, what now?

After the successful registration, you will receive 3 emails:

Email from the cTrader developers - open this email and confirm your cTrader ID. Afterward, you will be transferred to another webpage where you will create your login password. Please be sure to write it down as you will be using it for logging into every cTrader platform version (web, smartphone, desktop.)
Purple demo account information - this email contains information such as your demo account login number or currency in which you will trade.
cTrader platform download link - in the final email you can find a link to download a cTrader for Windows setup file. You will also find a link to a web platform for Mac OS (at this point, cTrader doesn’t offer the option to be installed on Mac devices).
