I think that this in part explains why newbies make so many mistakes when they trade using real money, if they begin to use a demo account they take risks that are too high, and if they happen to be lucky in a few traders suddenly they feel that trading is easier than what they thought, and believe that if they follow the same kind of strategy while using their money they will be as successful as when they were trading with a demo account, and such a thing is false.
When we’re in Demo we don’t really mind what will happen in any decisions we do in trading, but if we actually do it we put some doubts in our decision whether to trade it or risk more in it. It will depend us if we will take demo account seriously which can help in improving our decision making ability. Though, if we want to start without wasting time in demo accounts, it is better to have extra money that we can lose and can spend for training. Consider it at first as a fee to be able to learn how to trade with real money involve for us to exercise our control and to make decisions knowing their is real money at stake. Losing some money in starting can set our determination when it comes in trading.
Actually, this is a good practice if you can afford to lose your money and treat it as a fee for learning the real movements when working inside trading, chances of gaining deeper knowledge will allow you to properly adopt and adjust with how the market is moving, demo account might give you idea but working with the real market will established and enhance your knowledge, emotions and good money management can be adjust if you know how things will work in favor of your investment.
Demo account trading is very far from real account trading. In demo the broker didn't take you to the deep of the trading that is, in demo you are you are just on the periphery. In demo you are not afraid to enter the market because the money you are using to trade is not a real money but in the real trading account your to monitor the movement not the trade and if you do small mistake, everything is gone.
You are right. In Demo account, we have no pressure to use the money for trading in anyway because it isn't real money. So, we won't be afraid even if we fail to trade there, we don't lose anything. While in real account, we use the real money that we deposite to the account. If we fail to trade in the account, we really lose money. So, we have a pressure to use money and we must be more careful to trade here. However, as long as we use spot trading, we don't lose everything, we don't lose all the money. But when we fail in trading, the money in the account is getting less and less.
There would be no indeed pressure on executing your trades because you do know that you arent losing something which means that you cant really be serious for whatever strategies you would tend to apply.
You would really be having in your mind that you wont lose nothing so therefore, you would really be careless into your actions.This is the most common scenario or feeling that you would be felt off when you are
dealing with DEMO trading, yes it could really be good on testing out your strategies but this isnt something which is good on developing your emotional skills or something correlated to this.
On the time that you had familiarized in speaking with those tools and indicators then it would be ideal if you do really tend out to dive in directly on live account which would really be truly testing
out your skills specially on financial aspects where you cant able to get when you do demo.
Demo account may give you a glimpse, but the reality of everything depends on how you adopt the market situation, especially if you'll going to deal with the volatile market as how crypto market works. It's more on how you adjust and follow the market trends, something that can be enhanced when you already dealing with the live market using your hard earned money.
