This technology ensures fairness and transparency in all executed trades.

A $10,000 virtual balance is provided to test all Kontotypen features extensively. Demo accounts have unlimited duration for ongoing platform familiarisation. This service helps traders evaluate before committing real capital.

Demo Account Limitations

Demo accounts do not support real money deposits or withdrawals. Certain advanced features available to live accounts are restricted. Educational materials remain fully accessible. Results on demo accounts may differ from live trading due to market conditions. Transition to live accounts requires full verification as per New Zealand regulations.
