Demo and live server can never be the same, as the demo is a simulation only and there is no real liquidity and thus the execution is not real. Therefore, the execution latency is not real. However, in order to mimic the live execution best possible, our demo server is in NY (while the live is in LD4) intentionally adding latency on the demo execution. In a nutshell, the execution is 'close' to being real execution.

The Financial Information Exchange (FIX) API is a set of clearly defined rules and methods designed specifically for the electronic transfer of financial data. It is an "electronic communications protocol for real-time information exchange for financial securities transactions”

By using the FIX Protocol, the trader bypasses the brokers’ infrastructure and with that gains latency on the execution of his orders

In our in-house built FIX API set up, MT4 can be used as GUI. When you will receive your FIX API connection details, you will have included MT4 credentials as well, so you could monitor your trades, and pull out reports
