  2. Under Demo Accounts, locate the demo profile you wish to reset.

Step 3: Reset Your Demo Balance

  1. Next to your demo account entry, click the Reset or Replenish button.

  2. A confirmation dialog will appear showing your current balance and the amount to reset (e.g., back to USD 10,000).

  3. Confirm by clicking Yes, Reset.

Tips for Effective Demo Resets

  • Limit Resets: Avoid resetting after every loss—simulate real‑money discipline by giving strategies time to work.

  • Keep Conditions Consistent: Use the same leverage, lot size, and instruments when comparing strategies.

What If You Can’t Find the Reset Button?

  • Ensure you’re in the Demo Accounts section of your Personal Area.

If the button is missing, use live chat support or email support@pepperstone.com to request a reset.

By following these steps, you’ll keep your Pepperstone demo account in top shape for ongoing strategy development—and avoid the frustration of starting from zero without insight.
