Demo vs Real

[Morshedul]

This is the difference between demo and real account. In account, people earn alot and make profit while in real account it seems very tough. Even people cant get survive in real account.
In demo, they dont invest money, all they got is virtual. SO there is no tension, but in real trading, people invest money and they have tension for that thinking if he/she losses, then his/her invest will be ruined. For that reason less people trade well in real account in forex.

i totally agree with the above post the lack of physiological stress or emotions associated with trading somehow make trading on demo a/c fun but when we start including real money and real profit and loss emotions which are our greatest enemies start kicking in and this corrupts our trading

i thinkn if you are very bored with demo trading then you can spice it up nicely with a contest demo account . i am sure it will be fun to test your strategy and tweaking it at the same time knowing you are trading real money and allot is on the line . but all in all demo a/c are essential

In demo, we are trading just like playing a game without any fear of loss and profit. When we come in real trading which starts with fear of loss, which is too difficult to bear loss. Therefore, demo is very easy and real is much difficult

i think there is big difference in the real and demo account because in the demo account there are no emotions but in the real account there is factor of emotion which is very difficult to avoid

you are right..in demo account we can not learn how to control feelings..if we got good profit in real account we are so so happy and if got loss then we are very sad.
if you are new then you should trade in demo account for one -two months..but if you have already demo experience than you can open a cent account and trade there..it will give how to control emotions also.

we can not open demo account with $30. there is minimum amount is $3000.
but there is one other idea.. choose the leverage that you want in real account and made a money management account to your $30. that money management we can apply with $3000.
like if in $30 our lot size is 0.01 then in $3000 the lot size is 1. in same way your risk & reward ratio also change.

The demo account differ from live trading:the main obstacles are of psychological nature, mr . fear, mr . greed and subconscious(better to said it as unconscious) factors play out in a fashion you cant imagine until you 'live' it through .
Almost every body is emotionally tied to money and success and that ties on origin of all the trouble.

when we use demo account trading, we feel less fear. As the money is fake in demo, we don't really care about that. So we trade without fear in demo which leads us in being good traders. But when we go for the real trade, we fear of losing our money. And that fear lead to loss ultimately.

Demo is demo and Real is Real. In my view demo can help us learn about forex but cannot give real experience as we cannot open and close trades as freely in real account as we do in demo account. So real experience will come on real trading only.

I am agree with you, demo account and real account is different but the difference is not quite much. Its difference only
on its psychology condition when we used demo account and real account. In demo account, we will use virtual money so there
is no risk at all when we made mistakes. It's different with real account which always faced risk in trading.
