A virtual balance gives you room to practise. It does not prove that live trading, fees or withdrawals will behave the same way.
These are published terms, not completed platform tests.
Capital.com publishes a demo with virtual funds and no expiry. It explicitly says execution and liquidity can differ from live trading. We have not completed a hands-on test.

Read the account context →Equiti publishes USD 10,000 in simulated funds and expiry after 90 days of inactivity. This lets you explore a platform; it does not establish live execution, successful withdrawals or the charges on your eventual account. We have not tested the demo.

Read the account context →Pepperstone publishes 60-day expiry from creation for its own platform, MT4 and MT5 demos; TradingView has a 90-day inactivity rule. It says demo accounts omit interest, dividend adjustments and out-of-hours price movements, and do not offer swap-free mode. These published conditions were checked in the browser; no demo account was tested by us.

Read the account context →In a demo environment, work through the same tasks on each platform. Record what you can explain, rather than judging the platform by a simulated profit.
This checklist stays on this page. It does not send information or assess eligibility.
A simulated result is not evidence of future returns, available live liquidity, real slippage, successful identity checks or withdrawal performance. Ask which fees and execution rules are simulated differently.
Practise order entry, stop and limit placement, position sizing, margin displays and statement exports. Check whether the demo uses the same platform, symbols and contract specifications as the proposed live account.
Demo fills may not reproduce liquidity, slippage, rejected orders, financing or spread changes. A simulated profitable result does not establish likely performance with money at risk.
Record features observed in demo separately from broker-published terms and live measurements. A free demo also does not establish live-account eligibility, completed identity checks or withdrawal service.
Use a demo account to place a pending order, amend its price, cancel it, and export the resulting statement. Record the account mode, symbol, contract size and server time. Repeat after signing out and back in to see whether the order state is clear.
Mark the result as a demo interface observation. A successful cancellation exercise does not measure live fill quality, financing or withdrawals. If the live account uses another symbol or accounting mode, repeat the mechanics check under that configuration before drawing a platform comparison.
