This guide walks you through creating a Pips Markets account, opening a demo trading account on TradeLocker, and connecting it to EdgeFlo so your trades sync automatically.
Pips Markets is one of the brokers available on TradeLocker Hub. It accepts traders from most countries including the United States and offers a free demo account so you can explore the platform before committing real funds. Once your account is set up and a trading account is created, connecting it to EdgeFlo takes under two minutes.
Warning: Pips Markets only supports cryptocurrency withdrawals. If you plan to withdraw real funds, you will need a cryptocurrency wallet. Deposits are available via crypto, debit card, credit card, and SEPA bank transfer.
Step 1: Create your Pips Markets account
Go to pipsmarkets.com and click Register.
Fill in the following fields:
- First name and Last name
- Email — use the email address you want linked to your trading account
- Phone — select your country code from the dropdown
- Password — enter and confirm your password
The partner code field will be pre-filled from your signup link. Leave it unchanged, check the terms and conditions box, then click Register.
Step 2: Verify your email
After registering, Pips Markets sends a confirmation email to your inbox. Open the email and click the verification link to activate your account, then sign in.
Tip: Check your spam or junk folder if the email doesn't arrive within a minute or two. Add the Pips Markets sender address to your contacts to avoid this in future.
Step 3: Open a demo account
After verifying your email and logging in, you land on the Accounts page. You will see two options: complete your KYC (identity verification) or open a demo account. You can open a demo account immediately - no KYC required.
Click Create account under the demo option and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. Your demo account will be ready within seconds.
Note: Demo account funds are virtual and cannot be withdrawn. They exist only for practice. When you are ready to trade with real money, you will need to complete KYC and open a live account.
Step 4: Find your TradeLocker login credentials
To connect your Pips Markets account to EdgeFlo, you need your Login ID, Server name, and Password. From the Accounts page, click View next to your demo account to find the first two.
- Login — your TradeLocker account ID (starts with D# for demo accounts)
- Server — shown on your account details page
- Password — the password you set during registration
Step 5: Connect your Pips Markets account to EdgeFlo
Open EdgeFlo and go to your broker connection settings. Select TradeLocker as the platform, then enter your Pips Markets credentials when prompted:
- Login — your account ID from the Pips Markets portal (e.g. D#2354xxx)
- Password — the password you created during registration
- Server — the server name shown on your account details page
Once connected, EdgeFlo will begin syncing your trades. For a demo account, your trading history and journal will start populating as soon as you place your first trade in TradeLocker.
Tip: Connecting your demo account first is a good way to confirm the integration is working before you fund a live account.
Step 6: Complete KYC to unlock live trading (optional for demo)
You do not need to complete KYC to use a demo account. To deposit real funds and open a live account, you must verify your identity. From the Accounts page, look for the Verify identity prompt to begin.
Warning: You cannot deposit real funds or open a live TradeLocker account until your KYC is approved.
