How can I practice with the TWS?

If you are not yet an IBKR customer, you can open a free trial account by clicking Start Your Free Trial on our website and entering your email address and creating a user name and password.

IBKR Pro account holders are offered a paper trading account that can be used for testing along with their real account. If you currently do not have a paper trading account and would like to open one, please see: How can I open a paper trading account? 

To access your existing paper trading account, select Paper Trading from the TWS Login window.

In addition, you can access complimentary courses from the Education section of our website including the Traders' Academy, Webinars and more.
