In my experience researching and evaluating brokers for my own trading needs, one of the first things I verify is the availability of a free demo account. With First Shanghai, I found that there is no mention of a demo account being offered, either on their official materials or in the regulatory information available. For me, this is a notable absence, particularly since demo accounts are a crucial resource for testing strategies and getting comfortable with a broker’s platform without risking real funds. While First Shanghai is a long-established broker regulated by Hong Kong’s SFC and provides access to a broad range of instruments—ranging from Hong Kong and overseas stocks to futures and commodities—the lack of a demo option makes it challenging for new clients to assess their services firsthand before committing capital. As someone who values transparency and risk management, I am cautious about starting with real funds without any practice environment. In my view, the absence of a demo account, along with the limited details on their trading fees and platform specifics, means potential clients must be particularly diligent. For those considering First Shanghai, I would recommend reaching out directly for clarification before proceeding, especially if hands-on trial access is vital to your decision-making process.
