Currently, TradeLocker is only accessible through your broker (demo and live account) or a prop firm challenge (on TradeLocker demo).
TradeLocker is a trading platform, not a brokerage. You can learn the difference between them here.
That means that you have to have an account with a broker/prop firm first in order to access TradeLocker.
Here’s how to create a TradeLocker demo account:
Step 1: Find a broker/prop firm
If you don’t have a broker/prop firm, register here and choose a broker/prop firm from the list. We also recommend either searching for “TradeLocker brokerage” or simply asking for recommendations from other traders in our Discord.
Step 2: Register with a broker/prop firm
Create an account with the broker you chose and select TradeLocker as your platform of choice.
If you’re not sure how to do this, we recommend to check out the FAQ on your broker’s website. You can usually find the FAQ section by scrolling all the way down on their website.
Step 3: Receive TradeLocker credentials
Now check your email. Your new broker/prop firm will send you an email with two links:
- For live trading – https://live.tradelocker.com/
- For demo trading – https://demo.tradelocker.com/
In this same email, you will get your username, password and server.
Step 4: Log in to TradeLocker
Head over to the TradeLocker app or website and carefully enter your login credentials.
Copy and paste directly from the email to prevent any errors. If you’re having problems logging into your account, check out our other guide here.
The benefits of a demo trading account
Having a demo account on TradeLocker has numerous advantages for both beginner and experienced traders.
It allows you to practice trading without risking real money, offering a safe environment to learn the basics. The demo account also gives you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the TradeLocker platform.
Experienced traders can use the demo account to simulate different market conditions, honing their skills and adapting their strategies accordingly. Also, practicing on a demo account gives you a deeper understanding of risk management.
