No accounts opened or trading tested. #### Remaining checks - Requires Verification: obtain UK-specific disclosure of demo slippage, liquidity constraints, order rejection and latency modelling; the public simulation statement does not establish live-fill equivalence. - Requires Verification: any future hands-on demo testing must be reported separately from this documentation review. ## Demo markets ### Scope UK CFD WebTrader; US futures and other Plus500 operating entities excluded. ### Testing status Not tested ### Forex CFDs #### Evidence status Documented #### Notes and remaining checks The UK demo FAQ names EUR/USD CFDs among its practice markets.
