A demo (or "practice") account lets new traders familiarize themselves with the AIMS platform and get a feel for live trading, and lets experienced traders test new strategies. AIMS offers demo accounts for MetaTrader 4.

No real money is involved. A demo account uses virtual money, with an initial balance of either USD 10,000 or any amount you select.

No. Unlike most online brokers, the AIMS demo account does not expire — use it for as long as you wish. We recommend starting live trading only once you feel comfortable.

The demo account mimics live trading and its pricing is indicative of live pricing, but it is not an exact real-time mirror. Demo assumes markets are infinitely liquid at all times, which may differ from live markets during highly volatile periods. Demo and live accounts are hosted on separate servers to protect the performance of live trading.

No. Like live accounts, there is no weekend trading. The currency market opens Sunday 5pm EST (10pm GMT) and closes Friday 5pm EST (10pm GMT).

MT4 is supported on Windows and Android devices, and mobile users can download the MT4 app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

Either click the links provided in the email sent after your account registration, or go to aimsfx.com to download the MT4 platform. Mobile users can download the MT4 app via the Google Play Store.

Download the MT4 app, open it and tap "Login to an Existing Account". Search "AIMS" to find the broker server, select "AIMS – Live Server" (live) or "AIMS – Demo Server" (demo), then enter the MT4 account number and password provided by AIMS.

This is usually caused by an incorrect account number, incorrect password, or the wrong server. Use "AIMS-Live" for real accounts and "AIMS-Demo" for simulated accounts.

No, account deletion is not supported.

A margin call is issued when your Margin Level reaches 200%. As a signal that your account needs more margin, the terminal dashboard turns pink/red and traders are advised to reduce exposure or add margin. All credits included in trading equity can be used as margin.

When the stop-out level is reached (margin level 100%), all open positions are automatically realized and closed to free up margin and prevent negative equity. AIMS operates on a fully STP model and follows the same position-closure methodology as its liquidity providers.

A CFD is a leveraged product, so it can generate significant profits but may also expose you to losses that exceed your original capital. You acknowledge and accept that trading losses may exceed the funds deposited into your account, resulting in a negative balance owed to the Company.

AIMS (Auric International Markets Limited) operates under a Straight Through Processing (STP) execution model, transmitting client orders directly to liquidity providers and counterparties. The Company acts solely as an intermediary and does not assume market risk on your behalf, so you remain fully responsible and liable for any losses, deficits or negative balances resulting from your trading activity. You are expected to actively monitor and manage open positions and to contact us about available options if your account approaches a margin call or stop-out level.

This may include: hedging exposure through multiple trading accounts (your own or in connection with another client); submitting a cash withdrawal that causes the margin level to fall to 50% or lower; using arbitrage to exploit gaps, delays, pricing inefficiencies, execution latency or system vulnerabilities; coordinated trading intended to manipulate exposure or transfer risk between accounts; intentionally maintaining excessive exposure during extreme volatility, illiquid conditions, rollover periods, market gaps or major announcements; and failing to take reasonable action to manage open positions and reduce risk.

The Company may, at its sole discretion, investigate, cancel, void, reverse, adjust or refuse any trades, profits, credits, rebates or account balances arising from activity deemed abnormal, abusive, manipulative, fraudulent or in bad faith. Where it determines that a client has intentionally attempted to create, exploit, benefit from or transfer a negative-balance exposure, it may suspend or terminate the account(s), cancel profits, recover losses, offset liabilities against funds held, and/or pursue legal recovery.

Yes. If your trading account incurs a negative balance, you remain fully liable to reimburse and settle the outstanding amount owed to the Company. AIMS reserves the right to demand immediate repayment and to take any action permitted under applicable laws and regulations to recover outstanding amounts, including suspending, restricting or terminating any account suspected of abusive trading practices or policy violations.
