• How to open stocks charts and place technical indicators
• How to analyze Stocks Trading charts
• How to monitor profits and losses
• How to navigate the MetaTrader 4 stock platform interface

While practicing all the above, the money used is virtual money, meaning a stocks demo trader will practice using virtual money but everything else including stocks price movements will reflect the true stocks market movement.

Practice Demo versus Live Stock Trading Account

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stocks trader can deposit and withdraw money and all the trades will be transacted using real money and profits can be withdrawn and losses will be deducted from the deposited amount.

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

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