From my experience and my review of the available details about CANDEAL, I wasn’t able to find any explicit information regarding the availability of a free demo account or specific conditions such as expiration periods. This stands out to me, as most brokers in the retail forex and CFD industry tend to advertise demo access quite clearly if it’s available. Instead, CANDEAL appears to operate primarily as a dealer-to-customer electronic marketplace, focused on Canadian fixed income products and OTC derivatives, rather than on mainstream retail forex trading. Their platform, CanDeal Evolution, is described as providing electronic trade records and facilitating institutional-grade access to liquidity. Since CANDEAL is regulated by the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) and serves a professional client base, it’s possible any demo or trial access would be structured differently than retail brokers—likely subject to stricter onboarding or even limited to institutional participants. Because of this, I’d be very cautious assuming a straightforward, unrestricted free demo is on offer. Whenever demo account access isn’t clearly advertised, I recommend directly reaching out to their support channels and clarifying the requirements and any limitations. In my own trading, I always consider the transparency of a broker’s onboarding process as a reflection of its trustworthiness and suitability, especially in a market segment as specialized as fixed income and OTC derivatives.
