The reversible account

The practice account where nothing is frozen — Sri Lanka

Every funded account settles something permanently the moment it is created. A demo settles nothing — not the balance, not the type, not the decision to keep it. That property is what makes it useful, and it is also its one limitation.

A demo runs on live market prices with virtual money. It is issued against an email and a password, needs no documents, costs nothing and has no time limit. Its balance starts at $10,000 and can be reset at any time from the Set Balance control, and another demo can be opened whenever the current one is not useful. Because nothing on it is permanent, it is the right place to practise every setting — and the wrong place to learn what a permanent decision feels like.

What resets here that does not reset later

Setting	On a practice account	On a funded account
Balance	Reset any time from Set Balance	Changes only by depositing, withdrawing or trading
Account type	Practise against any of them without consequence	Settled at creation; a different type means a new account
Currency the account holds	Not a decision that costs anything	Chosen at creation from the listed options and fixed afterwards
Leverage	Adjustable, with no bill for getting it wrong	Adjustable — and the bill arrives immediately
Documents	None requested	Identity verification before real money moves

Read the right-hand column as a list of things worth rehearsing on the left. Every one of them is a screen you will meet again with money attached.

Opening one, in three steps

Open the sign-up page and read the address bar

What you see: a registration form. What to check: the address reads exness.com. Next step: make that check a reflex now, while nothing is at stake — it is the same reflex that protects a funded login later.
Enter an email and create a password

What you see: two fields and nothing else. What to check: that the password is not reused from anywhere. Next step: note that the personal area password and the MetaTrader password are separate things; the second is set later, inside the personal area.
Choose the practice account

What you see: a question about which account you want. What to check: that the demo option asks for no documents and no deposit. Next step: take it, and leave the type question for the day it costs something. What a type would freeze.

The button below is a partner link to the official website, and a commission may be paid if an account is later opened there. The practice account costs nothing either way.

Five things worth rehearsing while nothing is frozen

Set leverage on purpose. Open the setting, change it deliberately, and see whether the ticket figures move. Discovering that connection here is free.
Let a stop trigger. Place one deliberately close and watch the server close the trade without you. The mechanism is worth having seen rather than read about.
Price a ticket before opening it. Size and stop distance in, figure at risk out — the habit that later decides which account arrangement your balance can obey. The arithmetic.
Hold a position overnight. Note the swap the platform showed beforehand, then check it in the morning. It repeats every night the trade stays open.
Switch platform mid-week. Sign in from the browser terminal, then the phone app, then MetaTrader if you like. Same account, same positions — proof that the platform is a switch and not a commitment.

Two habits sit alongside these and cost nothing to build: turning on two-step verification under Settings, then Security settings, and writing one line after every trade. The ticket itself is walked through separately.

The one thing a reversible account cannot teach

Everything above transfers. One thing does not: how a decision changes when undoing it is no longer possible. A practice loss is a number that resets; a funded loss is a number that stays, and that difference is what pushes people into the trades they later cannot explain.

So a practice record is evidence about procedure and nothing else. It shows whether the stop was set before the click and whether the size came before the direction. It says nothing about what those habits will do once the balance stops resetting — which is exactly why the next step after this account is a small one rather than a confident one.

When this account has done its job

Not a number of weeks. A checklist, and every line is something written down rather than felt:

Ten consecutive tickets where the size was chosen before the direction.
A stop set before the confirm button on every one of them, with no exceptions and no edits afterwards.
The leverage setting opened, understood and set deliberately at least once.
A losing run already survived here without the size changing during it.
A figure you could lose entirely written down and dated, before any sign-up screen is read.

Any open line is simply the next thing to practise, and practising it costs nothing. When all five hold, the creation screen is the next thing to read — slowly, because that is where the frozen column gets written.

Questions about the practice account

Does opening one cost anything?

No. It is issued against an email and a password, holds virtual money, requests no documents and has no fee at any point.

Can the virtual balance be changed?

Yes — it starts at $10,000 and the Set Balance control resets it at any time. That is worth doing deliberately: practising with a balance close to the figure you would actually fund makes the sizing arithmetic realistic.

Does a practice account expire?

There is no time limit pushing you off it. If one falls out of use, another can be opened — the login carries a large number of accounts, so nothing needs closing first.

Can it stay open next to a funded account?

Yes, and that is the usual arrangement. It becomes the place to test an unfamiliar instrument or rebuild a routine after a bad run, neither of which is worth paying for while it is being figured out.

Are the prices the same as on a funded account?

The market prices and the platform are the same. What differs is that the money is virtual, so the readings on the ticket are accurate and the consequences are not.
