It is always good to practise on a demo account before risking the real money. But some new traders are skipping this step which may not cause any problems if they are good at trading to begin with. Also, being good at trading with a demo account does not indicate that you will be good at trading with a real account too since a demo account is very much different from an actual trading account. Even the strategies that worked perfectly in your demo account may fall apart when you use them in real trading. Still it is better to test your skills in a demo account and it is a lot of fun too.

Sums up what I think as well. Demo should never be skipped. It is too important

Beginners should always practice on demo accounts, which practically all brokers provide. This is because it will provide you with an understanding of how the platform works, how to use various tools, and how to get the most of it.

Every trader who is new to Forex can benefit from demo trading. He can gain more understanding about the platform and the market movements by practising demo trading, and after sufficient practice he can trade live.

Demo trading is an important stepping stone in your forex trading career. It makes you well-versed with the market and the software that you will use. It helps you practice your strategies without worrying about losing your money. But it should not become a reason for your unrealistic expectations in the market. You have to take care of that.

Demo trading is a must of a newcomer. Without a doubt and those ones who claim that demo trading doesn't contribute into trading just are ignorant traders. Demo trading meets your with trading activit,y, but sometimes it of course might be harmful fo traders as it elaborates a kind of 'habit' to trade money which doesn't belong to you. It makes your brain think that it's cool and it's the most comfortable activity for him.

when traders go to real account, it's so tough to them to start trading because their brain tried to 'reject' this idea as it doesn't comfortable for it and the nerve system as well.

I don’t think there are any traders who didn’t practice on their demo accounts before live trading. It’s not advised to take the plunge even before you know what it is.

The demo account is crucial for everyone. A demo is used to evaluate your plan. To determine a strategy's winning probabilities, it must first be tested on a demo. A demo may also be used to gain an understanding of how a trading platform works. On the demo, improve your strategy before implementing it on a real account.

Newcomers need an open mind towards learning and implementing the strategies. They should practice on demo to consolidate their knowledge.

As a newbie, it’s okay to not be well-versed with the exact situation of the market. But it’s wrong to overlook important steps like demo trading that are meant to make you familiar with the market situation. Reading books and watching videos is okay, but don’t overlook demo trading if you don’t want to end your career before you start it.

The demo is the ideal way to learn Forex trading, but I've noticed that most new traders are misusing their demo! However, some who took their demo so seriously are now enjoying live trading.

For newcomers, practicing in demo account is badly essential because frustration works when traders are in consistent loss. This frustration leads some traders to escape Forex trading. However, those who have high determination and strong mindset can survive in here. So, flourish yourself with a good strategy and proper learning so it doesn’t become a threat to your survival.

Why put the extra pressure on yourself to trade with real money when firstly you need to experiment and work out a trading strategy. Impatience to try and make money is literally the only reason you would.
If you can't spot the liquidity then you are the liquidity.

Demo accounts are the key to success kind of thing for newcomers, I would say. Newcomers should practise on demo accounts as much as possible and should be patient and consistent while practising. The more they practise, the better they get to know about the platform and devise trading strategies, which will help them overcome the pressure of trading in a live account.

It is very essential to trade in a demo account to gain an in-depth knowledge about the market and understand the market behaviour deeply. Not only do demo trading give you experience but also they save you a lot of money. Imagine trading directly in a live account and losing your money!
