Getting started with your FP Markets demo shouldn’t feel like defusing a bomb. You’ve got trades to test, clients to impress, or maybe just a new platform to explore—fast. But let’s be real: sometimes just logging in feels like you’ve missed a memo.
Most folks hit snags because of tiny things—wrong server, a mistyped password, or a platform hiccup that shows up right before a live demo. Frustrating? Yeah. Fixable? Absolutely.
One of our FXBee product engineers said it best: “Most login problems aren’t user errors—they’re setup oversights. We design with clarity in mind.”
So this guide cuts the fluff. You'll get quick-access methods, a dead-simple login walk-through, a setup checklist, and fixes for when things just won’t load.
Skip the guessing game. Let’s get you into that demo account and back to business.

Login tips for cTrader and Iress demo users
Using FP Markets' advanced platforms like cTrader or Iress? Here’s how to make login smoother than a market rally:
cTrader login tips
Use your platform-specific login (cTID), not the MetaTrader one
Confirm your FP Markets demo server is selected
Refresh credentials if you get an “invalid password” message
Iress login tips
Bookmark the Iress login page
Demo accounts may expire after 30 days of inactivity — reapply if needed
Customize your dashboard for quick instrument access (like Stocks & Indices)
These platforms pack serious power — ideal for traders testing multi-asset strategies with technical indicators or automated tools.
5 steps to log into an FP Markets demo account
Logging into FP Markets' demo account is a breeze — just follow these 5 steps and you’re all set to explore like a pro without the pressure of real cash.
Step 1: Choose your account type — demo vs. live
Demo account: Practice mode with fake funds — perfect for beginners.
Live account: Real money, real risk — only when you're confident.
Standard vs Raw: Standard has wider, all-in variable spreads; Raw offers tighter spreads but with commission.
Professional and Islamic accounts are for more specific needs — high volume or swap-free trading.
Choose demo account during sign-up to test strategies safely.
???? Tip: For practice, demo accounts are your go-to. For actual trading, live accounts are mandatory — pick smart.
Step 2: Select your trading platform and instruments
1. Pick a trading platform — FP Markets offers MT4, MT5, cTrader, and Iress.
2. Consider your instrument: into Forex? Try MT4. Prefer CFDs on Stocks? Iress might be better.
3. MT5 supports more order types and assets — great for mixed strategies.
4. Don’t ignore cTrader if you’re after advanced charting.
5. WebTrader is best for those who hate downloads.
Quick call: MT4 = simple + fast for forex. MT5 = great all-rounder. Iress = detailed stock trading.
Try them all in demo before you commit.
Step 3: Verify email and regulatory compliance notice
Getting your FP Markets account activated means verifying a few important things:
Email verification — to confirm you're not a bot or burner.
KYC (Know Your Customer) — upload ID and proof of address.
AML (Anti-Money Laundering) — global compliance requirements.
Regulatory compliance — FP Markets is ASIC and CySEC regulated, which protects your data and funds.
Once these are good, demo or live accounts can be activated right away.
"Compliance isn’t about red tape — it’s about protecting every trader's experience" — Kai Reynolds, Senior Compliance Manager @ Fxbee
Step 4: Set up charting tools and order preferences
???? Charting Tools:
Choose your preferred display: candlesticks, lines, bars.
Activate your go-to technical indicators (like RSI, MACD, or Bollinger Bands).
Zoom into 1-minute or 1-hour charts depending on your trading style.
⚙️ Order Preferences:
Set default order types: market, stop, or limit.
Adjust your stop loss and take profit presets to match your risk appetite.
Save the setup for faster trading.
This step helps you mirror your real strategy in demo mode so your practice sessions actually mean something.
Step 5: Start trading with one-click execution
Quick Comparison Table – Demo Trading Scenarios by Instrument
| Trading Instrument | Avg. Market Spread | Best Platform | Strategy Type | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forex | 0.1–1.5 pips | MT4/MT5 | Scalping, Swing | Moderate |
| Stocks | Variable | Iress | Long-term, Technical | High |
| Cryptocurrencies | High Volatility | MT5 | Trend Trading | Very High |
Once you’re set, just hit “One-Click Execution” and place trades instantly in your demo environment. It’s like live trading, minus the panic. Perfect for trying out a new trading strategy or testing risk management skills before putting real money on the line. (Learn more about One-Click Trading in FP Markets’ platform guides here.)
FP Markets’ demo gives you full access to market orders, fast execution, and a clean interface — no fluff, just action.
Pre-login settings for a smooth demo session
Before jumping into your FP Markets demo account, make sure you're all set for a clean, smooth ride. Here’s your smart pre-login checklist to save you from avoidable headaches.

Confirm client fund security and ASIC regulation status
Always check for ASIC regulation before you dive in.
Look for mentions of segregated accounts and client fund protection.
Demo or not, understanding regulatory compliance is just smart trading.
???? "Financial safety starts with transparency. Even in demos, we simulate real compliance flows." – Elena Brooks, Fxbee Compliance Manager
Ensure browser/device compatibility for WebTrader and mobile apps
Use Chrome, Firefox, or Safari — Edge works, but can be glitchy.
Make sure your mobile apps are the latest version from App Store or Google Play.
Avoid older operating systems — anything before Android 10 or iOS 13 might crash.
???? Quick tip: Tablets can access WebTrader too — just double-check platform support and screen resolution!
Select trading instruments: Forex, Indices, or Cryptocurrencies
Choose your market vibe:
Forex: Great for fast-paced traders — tight spreads, lots of volume.
Indices: Ideal for testing broader economic plays (e.g., NAS100).
Cryptocurrencies: Wanna ride the rollercoaster? This is your arena.
Each market has different trade settings — make your asset selection count before logging in.
Pre-configure leverage, spreads, and order types
Before logging in, tweak your trading parameters to mirror real scenarios.
| Platform | Leverage Options | Spread Type | Order Types Supported |
|---|---|---|---|
| MetaTrader 4 | Up to 1:500 | Variable | Market, Limit, Stop |
| MetaTrader 5 | Up to 1:500 | Variable | Market, Stop-Limit |
| cTrader | Up to 1:500 | Raw/ECN | One-Click, Pending |
???? Set risk management tools in advance to avoid crazy outcomes. Use FP Markets’ demo for testing those risk thresholds. (FP Markets notes leverage can be up to 500:1 for Pro accounts; retail limits vary by region.)
Test login with segregated account credentials
Heads-up: You can’t log into a demo account using live account credentials.
✅ Make sure you’ve got your demo login handy.
✅ Individual and Joint demo accounts require separate email confirmations.
✅ Want to reset? Use the test account dashboard — super simple.
Oh, and don't forget: segregated account credentials = different login flow.
Verify internet speed for optimal execution performance
When trading on demo, lag can mess up everything — and it’s usually the internet.
Your target connection speed: at least 10 Mbps download, 2 Mbps upload
Avoid VPNs if they’re slowing your latency
Test with platforms like Speedtest.net before you boot up
☑️ Faster network = better execution performance = happier trader. Always check your connection speed before a demo session.
How do I reset my FP Markets demo login password?
Lost your demo login? No biggie — this guide gets you back on track without the tech headaches.
Recovering access via registered email on MetaTrader platforms
Head to the FP Markets login portal
Tap "Forgot Password?" and enter your registered email
Select your MetaTrader demo account ID
Click the reset link in your inbox
Create a new password and confirm login access
Note: Use the exact email tied to your MetaTrader platform, or it won't work.
| Step | Action | Required Info | Error to Avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Open portal | FP Markets site | Wrong URL |
| 2 | Submit email | Registered email | Typo or unregistered email |
| 3 | Select demo ID | MT4/MT5 ID | Selecting live instead |
| 4 | Click reset link | Email inbox access | Expired/reset token |
| 5 | Set new password | New password | Weak or mismatched password |
Account type matters: Demo vs. Individual vs. Joint accounts
Let’s break it down real quick:
Demo account → Most flexible. Can be reset instantly using your email.
Individual account → Same as demo, but make sure personal verification is on file.
Joint account → You’ll need both parties' confirmation in some cases. Slightly slower reset.
Login process quirks:
Joint accounts = double checks.
Demo accounts = quickest reset.
Individual accounts = standard process.
"Most users don’t realize their login issue isn’t technical — it’s account-type-related," says Mira L., Account Support Manager at Fxbee. "Get the type right, and half the job’s done."
When to contact support for password resets under CySEC regulation
You might need customer support when:
You've lost access to your FP Markets demo account and reset emails don’t arrive
You're flagged for enhanced CySEC regulation identity checks
Your email is tied to multiple account access levels (like demo + individual)
Shoot support a message only after trying email recovery. The help team works fast — just keep your account ID, email, and last login time ready.
???? Pro Tip: If your email has changed, support is your only way in. Keep it clean, and they'll handle it. (For direct help, see FP Markets’ Contact Us page.)
