Demo vs. live

What changes when real money is involved.

A demo account uses virtual money and real market prices. It is a good place to learn and to test ideas.

What demo does not show

  • Emotion. Real losses feel different.
  • Execution. Live trades can slip and fill at different prices.
  • Costs. Live conditions can differ at busy times.

How to use demo well

Test a plan for a long time, through different market conditions. Move to live only with small size and money you can afford to lose.
