- How to open charts & place indicators
- How to interpret and analyze and analyze the trading charts
- How to monitor profits and losses
- How to navigate MetaTrader 4 platform software interface
When practicing the methods above, the money involved is not real, so a demo trader will use fake money, but everything else, including how prices change, will be like the real market.
Demo Practice versus Live Account
A practice trading account differs from a real account primarily in terms of deposits. In a demo account, a trader cannot deposit or withdraw funds, whereas in a real account, a forex trader can make deposits and withdrawals, with all transactions being conducted using real money, allowing for profit withdrawals and loss deductions from the deposited amount.
Forex traders should test strategies on a practice account. Practice until you trade forex for profit. Once you learn to make money on the demo, open a live account and trade the real market.
Following registration for a complimentary practice account, the beginner trader's next priorities involve mastering the Forex platform and learning the Forex systems and trading strategies that will generate trade signals. The trader must then rigorously test these forex strategies on the demo account to confirm their profitability. Only once a trader consistently generates profits on their Forex practice demo account should they contemplate transitioning to a live account.
