Oanda - Live Account vs. Demo Account - How to see the Difference?

Postby John1262680 » 02 Jul 2020

How can you know if you are trading Live or in the Demo account - simulated - in Oanda? I was given a separate login for the Demo Account vs the Live Account but they both show as PRIMARY. All I see is PRIMARY in the chart trading area when in my Gain Futures account I see the Account Number when I am live trading. See Below the examples are exactly the same. I have different user names and different account numbers but both Account numbers start with Primary and that is all that is showing up.

Update: My live account is Oanda 2 and my demo account is Oanda. When strategy trading, You need to Format Signal>>Properties>>Auto Trading and on the bottom you need to make sure the "selected Broker Plugin is Oanda 2 for live trading and Oanda for demo trading.

Additionally, on the chart trading you need to use the pulldown next to the green ball on the top and make sure it is on Oanda2 for live trading and Oanda for demo or simulated trading.
