It does show that I have an account in the Navigator under Accounts and that I have $10,000 to play with. I was able to place an order also.
My question is, what would be the difference between this and having a Demo account with one of the real brokers?
Thanks.
It is a real broker but like all demos may not totally reflect the market at times like news
