Yes, in my opinion, as it boosts your trading skills and help connect you with technical and fundamental analysis. A demo account is important for new traders.

I am an experienced trader and I am always backtesting and creating new strategies.
I think Demo accounts can be problematic, one does not get the real emotional connection that a trader has with his Capital on Demo.

ACHIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE

A demo trading account can be a valuable tool for traders, but it is not necessary. If you're a beginner or inexperienced trader, a demo account can be a great way to gain experience and confidence.

What do you think? Nowadays, when you can open an account with as minimal as $1 deposit, does a demo account works for the best interest of the trader or not?

I will clarify; the point of a demo account is to get a feel of forex trading, however it creates the psychological illusion of not caring of any losses/wins and taking enormous risk without having to confront consequences (psychological side).
Short term, a new forex trader won't need to deposit any funds to try trading, however longer term, he/she is most likely to lose his/her first deposit after trading a demo as those are 2 different trading environments.

So why not start with a real account in the first place? A demo account will just make a newbie trader over confident thus causing him to deposit more than what he/she would deposit for testing purposes in the first place. Therefore, I think a demo account is simply disastrous for new traders and is actually achieving the opposite of what it should.
Yes, demo accounts are very important for traders to gain experience before investing real money in the markets. They provide an opportunity to learn about trading strategies and instruments without incurring any risk.

Yes, trading with a demo account can be useful for investors looking to practice with theoretical money before putting actual money to work.

but as a beginner trader that is really difficult to make sure a long time in a demo account due to lack of trading experience and patience.

I believe demo account is necessary for newbies and for those who test their strategies with some new indicators, time trading and so on.

A demo account can be useful for individuals who are new to trading. It allows new trader to practice trading in a simulated environment using virtual money, without risking their own capital.
