Programs / PFG FX Trader / The beginning / Open an account

Open an account

The client terminal allows working with two types of accounts:

• Demo (training) account
  
• Real account

The demo accounts make it possible to work in training conditions without real money and to develop a quality trade strategy. Demo accounts have the same properties as the real ones. The only difference, these accounts may be opened without correspondent investments and, hence, one cannot expect to gain any profit from them.

Open demo account

To open an account it is necessary to perform menu command "File — Open an Account" or the same command of context menu in the window "Navigator — Accounts". Besides, during the first start-up of the program it would be proposed to open a demo account to begin the work immediately. The following data would be requested at opening an account:

• Name — user's name;
  
• Country — country of residence;
  
• State — state (region, district etc) of residence;
  
• City — city of residence;
  
• Zip code — postal code;
  
• Address — address of residence (street, house and number of apartment);
  
• Phone — contact phone number;
  
• Email — e-mail address;
  
• Account Type — type of the account;
  
• Leverage — credit leverage;
  
• Deposit — a start deposit.

In order to activate the button "Next" and continue the registration, you have to mark the box against "I accept to subscribe into your news letters" statement. Then it is necessary to choose a connection server. The list indicates addresses of available servers, their names and pings. The server with the lowest ping is most preferable. If the registration is successful, a window will appear, containing data on the opened account: "Login" - account's number, "Password" access password. After the registration the new account will appear in the window "Navigator - Accounts", ready for operation.

Attention: should there arise any problems with registration, please apply to broker company's technical support service. Open real account Real accounts, in contrast to the demo ones, cannot be opened from the terminal. They are opened by broker companies on certain conditions. Real accounts bear a special sign in the window "Navigator — Accounts". To work with them, an authorization procedure is needed via a context menu of window "Navigator — Accounts — Login" or menu "File — Login".
