Practice Account Details:
All Practice accounts will be 150K, regardless of your active Trading Combine or Express Funded Account size.
The Maximum Position size for all Practice Accounts will be 15 lots.
You can have one (1) Practice Account at a time.
Practice Accounts will be labeled “PRACTICE” in the drop-down on your Dashboard and platform.
Traders with an active Trading Combine can access a Practice Account free of charge.
The Practice Account allows you to have access to a second trading account that allows you to test strategies, products, etc., without affecting your primary account. If you hit or exceed your Maximum Loss Limit in a Practice Account, it can be reset at any time for no additional fee.

I can't activate my Practice Account — what should I check?
I can't activate my Practice Account — what should I check?
If the Activate button isn't available, an incomplete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is most likely the cause. Check your email for the KYC form, submit it for approval, then return to the Add-Ons page and try again. Note that KYC is also required to purchase new Trading Combines, so completing it will unblock both.
