Though MetaTrader 4 demo accounts attempt to replicate real-time market scenarios, there are key differences that distinguish it from a live account; including, but not limited to, the lack of dependence on real-time market liquidity. In addition, MetaTrader 4 demo accounts may not reflect execution criterion required by the regulatory authorities of forex in the United States and may impair results achieved in a live scenario. The functionalities and/or products available with MT4 may include, but are not limited to, the ability to Hedge, trade Contract for Differences (CFDs), and not limited to using just First In First Out (FIFO) trade allocation methodology.
