Demo vs Real

[imbest]

I never noticed the 2nd point you mentioned. I always thought that we get real time execution on demo accounts as well. If it is not the case then we can't practice scalping as it might lead to false results. For me demo is to learn the basic trading tools, nothing else.

i should disagree at this point . there's only two differences between demo and real trading and those are :

1- your emotions
2- few more seconds to execute a trade

that's it , as for the emotions you should trade live as if your trading demo ... if you involve your emotions you will lose no doubt

The reason why people say to practice first in demo accounts is not that you treat it differently as the money in this account is virtual and not real.You should treat demo account as if it is your own money that you are trading with and then trade.It is platform to check you trading strategy but most of the traders do not pay heap to demo accounts much and since they win here but they end up loosing while trading in real account.

I agree with the saying here that in demo accounts your funds will grow but when you are trading live it's a different matter altogether. But I think demo is still important because you can test the waters with out much risk. Trading live is the real deal and it's kind of scary as well.

Fully agree with you, any losses you will suffer in real account will push you to learning more and more to overcome the problems .Nobody learns for free.

in real account we invest actual capital and profit and loss also equal so in demo account capital awarded by company for practice to get knowledge for the trading in real accont so practice carefully for the best trading in real account

It is not difficult at all to trade in real account and we must not be afraid of losing in real market. The micro accounts are there for this purpose. We can use them to train our psychology of trading and it will be very effective.

I think the most different real vs demo is a demo will not be affected while the real emotion will be having an emotional and psychological well is in need in a real account,

Demo and Real account could be usable together for live tradings.
Put some expert advisor, you know it is loosing money, on demo.
Be care on money management.
Than start to follow this expert advisor on real account but contrarian.
In opposite direction. When he is taking profit you are taking loss, when he is taking
loss, you ar taking profit, when he is buying you are selling etc.
It could be very profitable

I use a demo account to try new techniques or strategies, so before to a real account, I test how the risks and how profitable that system .. and has nothing to do with the psychology

Demo account ka jo use aap nay bataya wo bilkul theek hay par bohat say new traders demo account ko sirf is liay use kartay hain takay forex trading seekh sakain aur ziada tar traders ka ye khiyal hay k demo trading may wo feelings nahi aa pati jo real may hoti hay. Is liay har new trader demo ki psychology ki baat karta hay.

demo account is very useful forum to getting maximum practice to improve our knowledge, and in demo we analysis the currency pair and news, and choose which pair is most important in real account, but real account concern with profit and loss. in real account no chance of mistake, so mistake mean loss.
