# Account Types

Choose a Demo or Live account path in the Tradeview Markets Cabinet.

The Cabinet presents account choices during registration and again when you create an additional account. Choose the account type before entering account details; changing it later starts a different application path.

## Choose the right path

| If you want to…                                                       | Choose…          | What happens next                                                                                                      |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Explore the Cabinet and platform setup without funding a live account | **Demo account** | You create account credentials, choose the available demo setup, and receive the account details shown by the Cabinet. |
| Apply to trade with a funded account                                  | **Live account** | You complete the application, accept the required acknowledgement, and finish any identity-verification requests.      |

{% hint style="info" %}
The choices shown to you can depend on your country of residence, Tradeview entity, platform, and application status. If an option is not shown, it is not available for the current application.
{% endhint %}

## Live account categories

After selecting **Live account**, select the category that matches who will hold it:

| Category       | Holder                               | Guide                                                                                    |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Individual** | One person                           | [Live Individual Account](/getting-started/create-an-account/live-individual-account.md) |
| **Joint**      | Two account holders                  | [Live Joint Account](/getting-started/create-an-account/live-joint-account.md)           |
| **Corporate**  | An entity, business, or organization | [Live Corporate Account](/getting-started/create-an-account/live-corporate-account.md)   |

This category is separate from the trading platform and account setup choices shown later in the application.
