UPDATED: We've had numerous requests to have the live demo account running at the broker that live real accounts will be traded. So we have opened a demo account at Varengold Bank FX and have changed the below instructions accordingly. If you were watching the previous demo at Alpari you can continue to do so.
We have a new live demo running. Follow these steps to watch:
