FAQs

    What is a live trading account?

    A live trading account is an account a trader can use to access the financial markets and start trading with real money from your home country, whether you are from South Africa or beyond. With Vantage, a live account gives you access to 1,000+ financial products like forex, indices, stocks, ETFs, bonds, and more CFDs. Unlike demo accounts or practice accounts that allow you to practise trading with virtual funds, live accounts require you to deposit real money to start trading.

    What’s the difference between a demo and live trading account?

    While demo accounts and live accounts may provide similar trading experiences, demo accounts are predominantly used for familiarising yourself with the trading platform and for educational purposes only. Our demo account comes with $100,000 worth of virtual trading credits for you to practise trading, so you can build up your confidence before dabbling in the live markets. Live accounts allow you to start trading the live financial markets, with real money.
