Exness demo account — the four entries made at creation — Pakistan
A practice account is configured at the moment it is created: type, leverage, opening balance and base currency are entered by hand, and those four entries decide whether the practice transfers to anything.
Open Exness Account →A practice account is defined by what is typed into its creation form: the account type, the leverage, the opening balance and the base currency. Those four entries set the cost structure, the margin each position occupies, the meaning of a percentage, and the unit every result is read in. Anything the form does not ask for has to be reproduced by hand afterwards, or the practice answers a question nobody asked.
The four entries made when a practice account is created
- The account type is chosen at creation and carries the cost structure the practice will be measured under.
- Leverage is entered at creation and decides the margin every practice position occupies.
- The opening balance is set by hand, so a percentage on the practice account means whatever that balance makes it mean.
- The base currency is chosen at creation, and every result on the account is read in it.
- The instrument list follows the type selected, so a practice account of another type answers a different question.
- Anything the creation form does not ask for has to be recomputed by hand before the result can be compared with a plan.
Reading a practice result against the account you plan to open
A practice result answers a question about the settings it was created with. Where the opening balance, the leverage or the type differ from the account you intend to open, the figures still hold — but they hold in the practice account’s own units, and the conversion is arithmetic done by hand. Two conversions are usually enough: express every result as a percentage of the balance you actually plan to fund, and recompute required margin at the leverage you intend to request. The trading calculator covers the second one.
Open a Demo or Live Account →What each of the four entries fixes
The type fixes the cost structure. A practice run under a spread-only structure and a practice run under a spread-plus-commission structure produce different totals from identical orders, so the type is the entry that decides whether the cost side of the practice is comparable at all.
Leverage fixes the margin. The same volume occupies a different share of the account at a different leverage, which moves margin level and therefore the moment a set of positions stops being comfortable.
The opening balance fixes what a percentage means, and the base currency fixes the unit — including the unit in which the value of one price step is expressed at a given volume.
Conversions that make a practice figure comparable
Convert results into percentages of the balance you actually plan to fund. An absolute figure from a practice account is a number about that account, and it travels badly.
Recompute required margin at the leverage you intend to request, using the nominal of the position rather than the practice reading. The lot size calculator and the trading calculator take the same inputs.
Keep the count of orders sent during the practice next to the result. Frequency is the one input the creation form never asks for, and it decides how heavily any per-order charge lands.
What a mismatch quietly does to the reading
An opening balance far larger than the intended one makes every position look small: the same order occupies a modest share of the practice account and a serious share of the planned one. The result is not wrong, it is simply denominated in the wrong balance.
A leverage higher than the one you intend to request hides a margin problem in the opposite direction: positions that sit comfortably during practice can leave far less free margin on the account eventually opened.
Setting a practice account to your own case
- Choose the type you intend to open, so the practice runs under the same cost structure.
- Enter the leverage you intend to request rather than the largest value the form offers.
- Set the opening balance to the amount you actually plan to fund, so a percentage means the same thing on both accounts.
- Select the base currency you will use, so results do not need converting afterwards.
- Write the four values down beside the results; a practice figure without its settings cannot be compared with anything.
Where a value cannot be entered on the form, recompute it by hand before comparing the practice result with a plan.
Entered by hand, and what to do when it cannot be
| Parameter | Set on the creation form | If it does not match the planned account |
|---|---|---|
| Account type | Yes | Open a second practice account of the intended type rather than adjusting the figures |
| Leverage | Yes | Recompute required margin at the intended leverage before reading any margin level |
| Opening balance | Yes | Convert every result into a percentage of the balance you plan to fund |
| Base currency | Yes | Convert results once, at the end, rather than order by order |
| Instrument list | Follows the type | Confirm the instrument is present on the type you intend to open |
| Your own order frequency | No | Count the orders sent and keep that number beside the result |

What traders say about the Exness demo account:
doy cuatro estrellas porque todavía no la use en cuenta real estoy en cuenta demo y me parece fácil de operar después de unos días practicando.cuando vaya en serio vuelvo a editar está opinión
muito bom no demo agora falta sabe no real
Disappearing Demo Accounts. the fact that a Demo account gets deleted because you haven’t been on it in a week or less is just weird, I’ve lost about 5 accounts in total I’ve been practicing on, such a shame I actually liked the UI & everything else
what amazing platform to learn trading with Demo on this Exness trade!!!!
