Introduction.
It is important for beginner Forex traders to have a solid understanding of market trends and trading strategies before investing real money. A "demo account" is useful in such cases. A demo account is a very useful tool that allows you to practice trading without spending any money while mimicking the actual market environment.
Steps to log in to your FX account

There are three broad things to do.
