Practice Accounts

Learn the ropes and gain confidence with a risk-free Practice Account:

Imagine if you could use the RBC Direct Investing site to experience real investing–without using real money. A Practice Account makes it possible!

Practice Accounts are not a demo version–they are integrated into our actual online investing site. You can experience investing using the same order entry screens available for actual trades, except that you risk nothing and you can start over at any time.
