Japan resident guide · July 2026
A demo is best used as an operational rehearsal, not evidence that a strategy will work with real money. It is free and useful for checking connection quality from Japan, platform layout and how you handle an order before you go through funding.
75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs.

Create a demo in Direct, then add the instruments you would actually watch. Check a market order, limit order, stop order and SL/TP amendment on the platform you plan to use. On cTrader, look at the DOM; on MT4/MT5, test the existing indicators or EA workflow you would otherwise bring into a live account.
Log in during Tokyo hours and again around London or US activity. Watch how the quote display, reconnect behaviour and mobile alerts feel on your own connection. A platform that is comfortable for chart reading can still be awkward for managing a stop from a small phone screen.
Demo balances, fills and spreads do not promise live equivalents. It cannot prove an actual payment route, KYC result or withdrawal process either. Keep leverage separate from the demo experience: CySEC/FCA retail conditions can be around 1:30, while an SCB route may show up to 1:500 depending on your entity.
If the platform fits, read the entity name, account specification and funding options before opening a live account. FxPro is not registered with Japan’s FSA, and the retail CFD warning says 75% of accounts lose money. A demo is a reason to understand the interface, not a reason to increase risk.
Set up a repeatable rehearsal: add two instruments, place a market order, place a limit order, attach a stop and amend it from both desktop and mobile. This checks the mechanics that are easy to miss when a price is moving. cTrader DOM, MT indicators and Edge layouts answer different workflow questions.
Repeat the test during Tokyo trading and during a more active London or US period. Watch the connection, notifications and how quickly you can identify margin, volume and an open position. A comfortable chart layout is not the same as a workable emergency order screen.
Do not use virtual fills to infer live execution, KYC acceptance or withdrawal speed. Demo conditions cannot settle the legal entity, payment route or applicable leverage. Those require the live application and its agreement.
FxPro is not registered with Japan's FSA, and its retail CFD warning states that 75% of accounts lose money. The sensible result of a demo is better familiarity with controls, not a reason to trade larger.
Write down the server and account ID for each demo. It prevents an otherwise useful test from becoming confusing when several platforms are open at once.
Delete unused test credentials from shared devices and use a unique password for the client portal.
Generally yes; check the current Direct option.
It can become inactive; review the account status in Direct.
No, they can differ from live conditions.
Test the one that matches your actual workflow: MT4/MT5, cTrader or Edge.
No. It does not test KYC, funding or withdrawal processing.
