Demo vs Real

[ishvara]

There is only difference between that in Demo money is virtual but in real money real.
So I think it has great importance to realize market condition.

The difference between forex trading demo and live accounts is the fact that emotions exist in real accounts and never in the demo accounts. As for market conditions, they are both the same at al times.

emotions play different role in demo and real, in demo we know that money is virtual money even we loss nothing will happen so one can trade easily with out any pressure, but when it comes to real lot of pressure will be there this makes difference.

I also see it that way, when we are trading in demo account we can learn about every thing, but there is one thing that we won't be able to learn which is how we can master how to control our emotions because it is not our real money that we are trading with.

This is because in demo as its a virtual money so our seriousness is very less and we dont get tensed and emotinal even if the trade is going under floating loss and moreover most of us make mistake of trading in demo with big amount balance. I would suggest all that you should trade in demo as if your trading in your real account, so also have your demo account balance set up according to your real account size which will help in many ways.

This becomes weakness of every novice trader, we wanted to get in on the real an account, real account but this is very difficult, we can not get a good profit, if we can not do good in the trade.

I would say both... If you are a beginner than start a demo account but also keep a real account too as you can try small investment in real and keep making strategies in demo account to limit the risk.

ready, sir, I am also very aware that I was a beginner, so I would be taking seriously again in a study specifically studying the demo account, because in my mind really sure if we are serious in learning then we will get rewarded the successful

Differences Between Demo Trading and Real Trading
Always remember, however, that demo trading is in no way similar to trading real money. You may be perfectly calm about sustaining a $10-million loss with fake money, but might become completely unhinged over a $100 loss in your real account. To make demo trading as productive as possible, you need to trade the demo account as though the money were real. For example, if you plan on funding your real account with $5,000, don't trade a demo account that has $100,000.

[100 to 1,000]

but we do not push ourselves to try a real account, it will definitely bring harm to us, either labih we focus first on a demo account to practice the skill of our trading and if we have good skill that means it's time we go on a real account .

yes. of course we don't need to push ourselves to go with real account. use demo and then use a cent account and use very small lot size.
when you become good then try with real account (standard or mini) with the lost size that is appropriate to you.

That is certainly not a good way to start trading. A new trader lacks discipline, so he is bound to try to see if he can make some quick profits from the real account and that can earn him some loss that will dent his trading ego. It is much better to do demo trading first before anything else.

When we learning forex trading using demo account, we don't get hurt when we got loss because its only dummies money. The different thing is controlling our emotion when we start using real account
