  • How to open stock charts and place indicators
  • How to Analyze Stock Indices Trading charts

Practice Demo versus Live Trading Account

The stock practice practice stock account only difference to the live stock account is the deposit, with a demo stock account one can not deposit or withdraw money but with the live stock account a trader can deposit & withdraw money & all trades will be transacted using real money & profits can be withdrawn & losses will be deducted from deposited amount.

Traders should use this practice trading account to test out their stock indices strategy & practice stock indices until such a time which they can trade the stock market profitably. Then when they learn how to make profit on their demo practice trading account then they can open a live account & begin trading the real market.

Once a beginner trader registers for the free practice stock account the next step is to learn the trading platform as well as learn trading systems and stock indices strategies which will be used to generate stock signals for stock indices. The trader will then test these stock indices strategies on the practice account that they will have opened to test if these trading strategies are profitable. Once the stock indices strategies are profitable on the stock practice account & a trader starts to make consistent profits on their Stock Indices Trading practice demo stock account then they can consider opening a real trading account.
