Complete the demo challenge and receive a real deposit

The challenge is a test of your trading on demo accounts. It consists of two or three phases, and in each of them your task is to grow the starting amount with minimal deposit drawdown.

We offer 2 tariff plans. Each plan has several payment options depending on the starting balance. The balance is the amount on the test demo accounts where you'll complete the challenge. And you'll receive the same amount, but in real money, after successfully passing the test.
