The problem is that FOREX.com "Demo" accounts on their new server (as of Dec. 16, 2018) appear as "Real" accounts to applications. I have send them a note about it.


Well I do have the exact same problem here with a bunch of brokers !
I have demo account with FXTM and even with FxPro but none of them worked. I get the same error as you did.
The only terminal that worked fine was FXCM !!
Anybody knows what's the problem ?


In my case, the MetaTrader 4 app for Android clearly showed that my so-called "demo" account with FOREX.com was showing itself as "REAL". Also, in MT4 for Windows, the title bar did *not* say "- Demo Account -" which is what Zorro is looking for to ensure the account is really a demo account. I advised FOREX.com of this, but they have not responded. In the meantime, I opened a free demo account with MetaQuotes which is working OK.
