Who we are

PracticeFloor is a small independent editorial desk. We publish one thing well: clear, practical guides to the Olymp Trade demo account — what it does, how to open it, how to practise on it, and how to judge when practice has taught you enough to consider real money.

What we publish

Every guide on this site is written for someone at the start of the path: a reader who has heard that a free practice account exists, wants to know what it is worth, and would rather not lose money finding out. We think the demo is the sensible first step, and most of our pages end by pointing at it. We also say plainly where practice stops being a good guide to live trading, because a recommendation that skips that part is not worth much.

How we work

• We write from the platform's own published material and from how the product is documented to behave.
• We do not state figures we cannot verify. Where a number moves — a practice balance, a deposit floor, a payout rate, a processing window — we describe the mechanism and send you to the platform's own pages for the current value.
• We date the checks we make, so you can see how old a detail is.
• We do not name an operating entity, licence or registration number for Olymp Trade, because we have not been able to verify one. Read the platform's own terms before you deposit.

What we do not claim

We have not opened live accounts on your behalf, timed withdrawals with a stopwatch, or measured payout percentages. Nothing here is a test report or a performance study. When you read a comparison on this site, you are reading a framework for making your own decision, not a benchmark result.

Who edits this site

Editorial direction, fact discipline and final sign-off sit with Anjali Sreenivasan, Trading Education Editor. Corrections are welcome and are made in place, with the change noted where it matters.

Money and independence

This site can earn commission from links to the platform it covers. That funding model is described in full on our partner disclosure page. It does not buy a verdict: we keep the limitations of demo trading on the page, in every language we publish in.

Risk

Trading carries a risk of losing the money you put in. Fixed-time trading in particular is short-dated and high-risk, and leverage magnifies losses as well as gains. Whether this kind of trading is available and legal where you live varies by country — check your local rules before you fund anything.
