ZFX Demo Account
Practise on a free ZFX demo account with virtual funds before you commit real money — a useful step for South African traders getting used to USD-quoted CFD pricing for the first time.
Open ZFX Account →ZFX offers a free demo account with virtual funds so you can practise on MT4 or MT5 before trading live.
Why use a demo first
- Test MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 with no risk.
- Practise placing orders, setting stop-losses and managing trades.
- Try and refine your strategies before going live.
- Get comfortable with leverage and margin in a safe environment.
The demo runs on the same MT4/MT5 servers as live accounts, so spreads and execution behave the same way you'll see once you fund a live South African account.
