  What is a live trading account?

  A live trading account is an account a trader can use to access the financial markets and start trading with real money. With Vantage, a live account gives you access to 1,000+ financial products like forex, indices, stocks, ETFs, bonds, and more CFDs.

  Unlike demo accounts or practice accounts that allow you to practise trading with virtual funds, live accounts require you to deposit real money to start trading.
