Will the demo show the same commission FT UK charges?

FT UK's published commission is $5 on forex, $5 on gold, $0 on indices; the page does not say per lot or per side. The demo reflects the same pricing on this platform, and spread is only half the cost of a trade, so it is worth comparing both together.

Does the FT UK demo use the same leverage?

FT UK advertises leverage of Up to 1:30. Leverage on a demo can differ from a funded account, so treat it as a guide and confirm on the Conditions tab.

FT UK Demo Credentials

Coming soon

Not available at the moment

FT UK has not published a demo login we can share yet. We are working on adding one, and this page will carry the details as soon as it is available.

In the meantime the Conditions tab lists FT UK’s published leverage, commission and available assets.

How to use it

Open DXtrade and Match Trader, choose to log in to an existing trading account, and enter the details above in the order they are listed. The account is read only, so nothing you do on it is a real trade and nothing needs to be paid for.

Once you are connected, add the symbols you actually trade to the watchlist and look at them during the sessions you actually trade. A spread quoted at a quiet hour tells you very little about what you will pay at the London or New York open.

What to check while you are in there

Spread on your main pairs at the times you trade, not just when the market is quiet.
Commission per lot, which is where two firms quoting the same spread often differ.
Swap rates if you hold overnight, and whether a swap free option applies.
The instrument list, including indices, metals and crypto if you trade them.
