Tickmill Demo Account checklist

A demo account lets you test a broker's platforms and order handling with simulated funds before committing real money. This page is not a list of confirmed Tickmill demo features. Instead, it is a checklist of the questions you should answer directly from Tickmill's own website, account documentation and support team before you rely on a demo for practice or platform evaluation.

Confirm what the demo actually includes

Demo accounts vary widely between brokers, and details change over time. Before signing up, confirm with Tickmill directly which platforms the demo supports, which account types it mirrors, and which instruments are available in simulated form. Do not assume a demo replicates every live account type or every market the broker offers. Check whether the demo uses the same pricing feed as live accounts, because some brokers run demos on delayed or simplified data, which affects how realistic your practice will be.

Ask which trading platforms and account types the demo mirrors.
Confirm whether demo pricing matches live pricing or uses a separate feed.
Check which instruments and markets are available in the demo environment.
Note the starting virtual balance and whether it can be reset or adjusted.

Check expiry, limits and reset rules

Many demo accounts expire after a set period of inactivity or a fixed number of days, and some brokers limit how many demos one person can open. Before building a testing plan around a Tickmill demo, verify the current expiry policy in the broker's own documentation or by asking support. Also confirm whether you can request an extension, open a fresh demo after expiry, or reset the balance mid-test. Knowing these rules in advance prevents losing a practice history you were relying on to evaluate a strategy.

Verify whether the demo expires and under what conditions.
Ask whether extensions or new demos are permitted after expiry.
Check any limits on the number of demo accounts per person.

Understand the limits of demo results

Even a realistic demo cannot fully reproduce live trading. Simulated orders do not face real liquidity, so fills, slippage and requotes may differ from what you would experience with real money. The psychological side of trading also changes when actual capital is at stake. Treat demo results as a way to learn a platform and rehearse a process, not as evidence that a strategy will be profitable live. For broader context on the broker, read our Tickmill review, use the Broker comparison tool to see how it sits alongside other reviewed brokers, and browse the Reviews hub for related research.

FAQ

Does a Tickmill demo account use real market prices?

We cannot confirm this here, because demo data arrangements vary and can change. Check Tickmill's current demo documentation or ask its support team whether the demo uses the same pricing feed as live accounts before relying on it for testing.

How long does a demo account last?

Demo duration and inactivity rules differ between brokers and can be updated at any time. Verify the current expiry policy directly with Tickmill rather than relying on third-party pages, including this one.

Are demo trading results a reliable guide to live performance?

No. Demo trading removes real execution effects such as slippage and the emotional pressure of risking actual money. It is useful for learning a platform and rehearsing a process, but it does not predict live results.
