EC Markets Demo Account Registration

Getting Started with EC Markets Demo Trading in Oman

Our company offers traders in Oman access to a demo account through the MetaTrader 4 platform. This simulated environment mirrors live market prices supplied by top liquidity providers. You can practice trading more than 100 instruments including 64 forex pairs, metals like gold and silver, energy commodities, and global indices without financial risk.

The signup process is quick, requiring only 3-5 minutes to complete. We ask for essential details such as full name, email, mobile number, and confirmation of Oman residency.
