Trading Accounts Offered

Virtual Account

The virtual or demo account is basically a practice account that is preloaded with $10,000 virtual cash. It allows beginner traders to test out the trading platform and trading strategies, without having to risk any real money.

It also provides a tool fr advanced traders to back test trading strategies and theories.

Standard Account

Once you are confident enough to begin live trading, you can open a standard trading account. Unlike most binary options brokers, which require a minimum deposit of $250 to open a live trading account, Binary.com only require a minimum deposit of just $5, hence making Binary.com more accessible.
