Testing strategies and automated order execution using a real account can result in a substantial financial loss! All Interactive Brokers clients with a real trading account also receive a simulated trading account that provides real-time data and enables traders to and test the functions and features of the Trader Workstation platform.</div><br>In addition, Interactive Brokers provides a '''Demo Account''' that is accessible by people who aren't clients. A demo account supports only some of the symbols, has limited historical data, and provides delayed quotes. The user name is '''<i>edemo'''</i> and the password is '''<i>demouser'''</i>.<div>
# In Trader Workstation, click the '''Configure''' icon on the toolbar, or click '''Configure''' in the main menu.
