Quotex Sign Up: How to Create a Free Account

Creating a Quotex account takes about a minute: you register with an email, confirm it, and land straight on a free demo. This guide covers the full Quotex sign up process — how to open an account, when identity verification (KYC) is needed, how to choose between the demo and real account, what the minimum first deposit is, and how to keep your new account secure.

Two things up front. First, this is an independent, unofficial guide — we link you to the official Quotex site (quotex.io) and never host a registration form or ask for your details. Second, Quotex is a high-risk digital-options platform operated offshore; most retail accounts lose money, so read the risk section before you fund a real account.

How to create a Quotex account (step by step)

The registration flow is the same idea on desktop and mobile — enter an email, confirm it, and you're on the demo in seconds:

Register with your email in about a minute

The fastest way to open an account is the email sign-up — often searched as "Quotex register" or "Quotex registration". You provide a working email address, choose a strong password, pick your account currency if the form asks, and agree to the terms. Quotex then sends a confirmation email — click the link inside it to activate the account. Use an email you actually control, because password resets, security alerts and important notices all go there. Quotex also offers a "Sign in via Google" option if you'd rather not create a separate password; either route works, and you'll pick your account currency (for example USD) during sign-up.

Start on the free demo instantly

After you confirm your email, you land on a free demo account with virtual funds and no deposit required — a common example balance is US$ 10,000 virtual (resettable), and it's resettable, so you can top it back up whenever you run it down. Treat the demo as your training ground: learn where the charts, assets and expiry controls are, practise placing fixed-time trades, and get a feel for how quickly outcomes settle. Spend real time here before risking money — there is no cost and no time limit. Our demo account guide goes deeper on getting the most from it.

Choosing demo vs real

A Quotex account gives you both a demo and a real balance, and you switch between them with the account selector at the top of the platform. Stay on demo while you're still learning the interface or testing an approach; there is genuinely no rush to switch. Move to real only once you understand how the platform behaves and you've accepted that live trading is high risk — the demo cannot replicate the emotional pressure of trading your own money, but it does let you master the mechanics first.

Verification and KYC — usually later

You normally do not need to verify your identity just to register or to use the demo. KYC (know-your-customer) checks — typically a government photo ID and sometimes proof of address — are usually requested later, most often around your first withdrawal. Completing verification early, with clear document photos that match your account details, tends to make withdrawals smoother when the time comes. If your account is ever marked "under review", that is generally a verification or terms matter to resolve with official support, not a lost account.

Going live: the minimum deposit

To trade with real money you make a first deposit. The minimum deposit starts from about US$ 10 (it varies by region and payment method), and the minimum trade is from about US$ 1 — so you can start small while you build confidence. You do not have to deposit anything to keep the account; the demo stays free. When you're ready, our deposit guide walks through the methods, timing and how to fund step by step.
