i like your statement. and it's absolutely right, trading doesn't need only technique and system only. Trading also involves emotion and psychology, so without practicing using a real money in real live account, it is nonsense for every trader to become capable to improve their skill in trading.
Don't stay too long in reading many e-book and trading material, don't stay too long with demo account, just read what we need to observe market and gain profit, then apply it in a real account. and for a safety, just start your trading using small fund and high leverage to get many Lot sizing options.
