How to open a demo from Nigeria
In FxPro Direct, create a demo on MT4, MT5 or cTrader. Use the same WAT window you plan to trade live - see sessions. If you plan short holds, set your practice loop with the scalping guide.
- One platform only for the first two weeks of practice.
- Write your entry and exit rule before you click.
- Journal spread at entry - costs matter even on demo.
What to practice (checklist)
- Market vs pending orders without panic cancels.
- Stop placement that survives normal noise.
- Skipping the first major US data print if you are new.
- Reading Standard vs Raw+ all-in - costs.
- Wallet vs trading account mental model - needed before live funding.
When the checklist feels automatic: open account.
Demo vs live - honest limits
Demo spreads and fills are close, not identical. Live emotions and slippage differ. Treat demo as process training, not as proof you will profit. After funding, follow first week.
Two-week practice plan (WAT)
Pick one liquid pair and one session block. For many Nigeria desks that means London open into the US overlap - see the WAT map. Confirmed July 2026 framing: demo is for process, not for a fake equity curve you screenshot for friends.
- Days 1-3: only market and pending orders. Log time, pair, spread at entry, and whether you followed the written exit.
- Days 4-7: add a hard stop on every ticket. Skip the first major US data print if you still flinch.
- Days 8-14: compare Standard vs Raw+ all-in on the same setup using the spreads page. Keep one platform.
- Graduation rule: 20 clean fills with the same exit rule, no revenge tickets after a loss. Then open account.
- If you want short holds, read scalping before you shrink the hold time.
- If salary hits this week, shrink size on demo too - habits transfer.
- Demo balance is fake. Do not "prove" a method with oversized lots you would never fund live.
