Hi guys . Can anyone explain why my 2 demo accounts are up by a substantial amount but my live account is at a loss . Seems I mess around with my live account to much instead of placing my trade and the leaving it .
if in my opinion the demo might be able to profit a lot because there is no burden when open, if loss can make a demo account again. Unlike the Live account if it is open, it will make our mind afraid to open and lose the MC (Margin Call).

This is only a matter of management and psychological trading. If you use a friend's demo account, there is definitely no burden to cover, whereas if you use a real deposit account, you will be haunted by the burden, so you often make entry errors.

This only requires flying hours and more learning.

I suggest that before entering into a real account with a large capital try practicing phisikology in a micro or mini account, I think micro accounts can train little by little,
oh yes, micro account is a good idea too, i forget that i have a micro account from freshfores, its good practicing in micro account than in demo haha, thanks for make me remember bro

in my opinion psychology when using a demo account with a different real account and that resulted in us winning the demo but losing on a real account

because the server used is different from the live account, sir
and if we use a demo account, our psychology is not affected
because the money on the demo account is only virtual, not real money

when using a demo account, each deposit must be profitable, profitable, and profitable.

but after using a real account. as if all turned around. only loss I get, while profit still ends with MC.

It's clear it's because of psychological factors. On the demo account there is no psychological pressure and we can trade casually even though we are experiencing a loss, in contrast to a real account where psychology controls us here so it will be much different from trading results on demo and real accounts even though the demo account has managed to profit consistently.
agree, in demo before real trading , we can use leverage and any trading strategies to see the performance how it works. this approach will help us for avoiding risk and loss when trading in live.

Try to hold your demo account until 3 months. If you're not Margin Call try to deposit on real account. You just deposit same with the demo account.
Thank you for coming sis..

this is a common problem because basically if we use a demo account, our psychology tends to be maintained, this is different if we use a real account our emotion will play there
I agree with you sir
if the demo is invented just to play
want our loss or profit there is no mental burden
Algi difference if you use a live account
there is a burden if we must not lose

It must because your live account is less funded than the demo account. With plenty of capital on your account you can freely open market to buy or sell and just wait until enough profit reached.
Yes i will agree with the fact as when we are doing our trades in the Demo accounts we usually have a large amount of Funds at our disposal.

But when in the Real trading we have shortage of trading funds and the use of the Higher trading leverage makes things unrealistic for us :slight_smile: title=:slight_smile:

you better join any contest in many brokers bro, join a demo contest and test your skill there,and about demo win and live loss is a psychology factor, you want to get easy money by use full margin, but in demoyou will be just like "nah, its only demo" haha
Thank guys for the feedback.
So better at the beginning start to trade with small live account instead of demo.

Demo win, Live loss
This is very good topic, why? Because I also often experience things like this hihihi :( ..
The reason is that when we trade using demo account, we will not think about how much loss we will experience. It's different when we trade using a live account, before buying and selling we must have thought about estimated profit and losses. And the thing I experience most is when we buy prices down, and sell prices goes up. That's where, emotions, mentally, or psychologist is unstable, as a result instead of profit but even loss.
if I observe and I feel why when we trade with a demo account we can profit but when we trade with our real account we always lose, it all lies in our physiology. therefore in the trading of psychology it occupies 80% of our success.

its psychology factor, because in live your afraid of losing money, but in demo you have nothing to worry, to overcome this is think your real as a demo.
