When it comes to success, practice is always part of the process. That's especially true when it comes to managing your money.
But as an investor, how can you test-drive the whole buying and selling process, or try out new strategies, without putting your money at risk? That's where an RBC Direct Investing Practice Account comes in handy.
For new and veteran do-it-yourself investors alike, Practice Accounts offer a risk-free way to test out investment strategies and place buy and sell orders using the same order entry screens you'd use for actual trades.
Free for all RBC Direct Investing and RBC Online Banking clients, each account comes with $100,000 practice dollars and gives you access to the same tools you would use to manage your real investments.
Setting up a Practice Account is a quick, online process, and you can have as many Practice Accounts as you like. When making trades or trying out site features, you'll know you're in practice mode because the account will be highlighted in a separate box on the screen and you will see a book icon.
Voila! Manage your account just as you would a real account using the tabs and on-screen links.
