Is demo trading enough before real account?

Demo accounts are helpful when it comes to learning the mechanics of trading and testing strategies. Not so much when it comes to the psychological or money management parts of trading. I think it's crucial to trade on a demo, but keep in mind that you could start to feel anxiety, greed, or other emotions once you go live. Also, the demo doesn't teach effective money management since you can just have it topped up, but I've read suggestions that say you can try giving yourself real world consequences to make the demo account results feel more realistic and so that you'll take it more seriously.

If you are confident about the knowledge gained, then the demo account experience is sufficient enough to start trading in the real account.

It is better always to start low until you make consistent profits with lower capitals.

Hi all,

As a new trader I am trying to develop strategies in demo accounts before registering for real accounts. Is this enough though for me to be ready to enter the real markets?

Thank you!
Yes it is and I provided you stick to your strategy and don’t start to fall apart when things don’t go your way

@lucie_fxtrader Demo trading is good before entering into live trading. But demo trading should be done by following specific strategy and risk management policy.

Demo trading is necessary for every trader before real trading because demo trading will help you a lot to gain experience and you can test your strategy.

Demo trading is a must to start with in my opinion. That's not to say going live eventually isn't but if you've not got an objectively winning strategy, why would you then futher complicate it with psychology?
If you can't spot the liquidity then you are the liquidity.

Demo is not enough but it is essential to use. If you do not try on demo then you will just lose money. better to lose fake money

I believe that demo trading is obliged before real trading actually. Plenty of traders nowadays underestimate the necessity of demo trading, because they're convinced that it gives you nothing.
However, I can't agree with such an opinion and believe that demo trading teaches traders basic notions and mechanics in trading activity. If you have never faced trading activity, then you probably would be interested in the mechanics of creating market orders for example.
So, it's not only enough, you're obliged to pass all the stages before you start making money on a real account.

I agree, it absolutely gives something to new and experienced traders. It is key to use it when you want to tweak a strategy or learning a new one. It is not the full answer to successful trading but makes a big difference imo

the demo is really important but i have seen the knowledge we get from demo account actually not works in a real account, its real psychology. we cant focus when trading in a demo.

here I agree, the demo does not provide enough training and experience for successful work, therefore, real money also needs to be earned at minimal risks
I also agree with you. A demo can not help you to gather all the knowledge and skills about this market.

demo is master place to acquire all basic knowledge and experience
but in generally we ignore this trading place because there is no real money and we cant focus on there.

Demo trading can be an excellent way to familiarize yourself with the forex market, get a feel for your comfort zone and learn how to read charts.

in order to me i think the demo is really important for newcomers and seniors but people dont trust it. actually demos experience most of the time works to fail. thats the real reason.

If you are a newbie, nothing is enough alone to learn the art of forex trading. First, you need to gather basic knowledge about trading by enrolling yourself in any reliable online course. Further, you can create a demo account to hone your trading skills. A demo account provides you with the opportunity to back-test your strategies before applying them on live trading. Further, it boosts your confidence when you make profits. You can become a member of various trading forums to learn from other experienced traders. However, you cannot become a trader unless you enter the live trading and involve your real money.

I think so, couple your time on demo accounts with time studying either on BabyPips or with reputable traders on YouTube.
Also TradingView is great to be able to see people sharing different analysis on the pairs you're looking at.
