Their demo account, which comes with $10,000 of virtual funds is free of charge and simple to open. This is an excellent tool for both new traders and experts, as it allows you to practice trading skills and place trades without investing any real capital.
Demo account is simple
AMarkets fees
Fees depend on the account you`ve opened with AMarkets. Broker charges for inactivity fees and deposit fees but does not charge commission on CFD instruments. Each method of withdrawal has different fees and commissions.
Registering for an account
As I have mentioned earlier. It’s very simple to register for a demo account. On the main page, right top corner, you can click to open a live or demo account. A short form comes up, that is filled in under a minute. All you need is to fill in your first name, surname, email, telephone number and address.
If you`re a beginner you can take a quick tutorial, that`ll show you through the platform. I recommend going through the tutorial, as it’s a good start.
quick tutorial for beginners
The tutorial took about a minute and then It took me straight into the platform. No need to log in several times, a nice and smooth flow.
AMarkets trading platforms
They offer MT4 & MT5 platforms and WebTrader. The MT4 platform is the forex industry’s top choice for online trading, offering reliability and convenience. The platform is beginner-friendly but offer much more for professional traders too. MetaTrader 4 can be run directly from an internet browser, or you can download it onto your Windows or macOS computer, so I chose to try out MT4 on my browser. MT5 is the updated version of MT4, offering great tools. The platform is user-friendly, intuitive.
AMarkets website
The website design is good I`d say. Facts are on the main page, easy to find and the navigation across the website is intuitive. There is no fee schedule on the website available, it’s one of the most important aspects when choosing a broker. On the other hand, the website provides a lot of information and you will find a lot of useful sections on the website such as Account types, what can be traded, their history, promotions, bonuses. You`ll find some educational content, including forex news and analytics, as well as a blog. Clients can find access to the Auto chartist indicator, plus an economic calendar and trader calculator. I`m missing some webinars and educational videos on their website.
Tech analytics
Unusual page – trades of the week
AMarkets social networks
They are active on Facebook, Instagram, Linked In and YouTube. You can contact them through Telegram, WhatsApp or email. There is a live chatbot ready to help on their website too.
Customer support
On Facebook, they are active a couple of times a month, which is a big plus. You don’t miss out on analytics, news and facts. Instagram has the same activity and YouTube offers a number of video tutorials that cover a lot of topics for beginners and advanced traders.
