Before you start

What you'll need to have ready

Gathering these now means you can finish in one sitting. Most clients are funded and trading within 1–2 business days.

  • Government ID

    Passport, driver's licence, or national ID card.

  • Proof of address

    Utility bill or bank statement from the last 3 months.

  • Email + phone

    For account activation and security alerts.

  • Funding method

    Bank account for wire transfer (or alternative, see deposit methods).

Why upgrade from demo?

Demo trading and live trading aren't the same.

Real money changes how you trade

Most strategies that work on demo fall apart with real capital. Live trading is the only way to discover whether you can actually execute.

Same execution, identical spreads

GCI's live spreads match the demo prices you've already tested, 1–2 pips on majors, instant fills, no requotes.

Bonus margin only on live accounts

The 24th Anniversary 25–50% bonus only applies to funded live accounts. Demo balances don't qualify.
