Still trading a demo account?
Have you been trading a demo account now to whet your trading whistle? GOOD! What else can you learn from trading a demo account and virtual money besides making winning trades? You can learn how winning and losing trades make you feel. You can learn how much time you can really devote to trading forex. You can learn your trading style, ie, do you like to wait for economic news to come out and then trade (fundamental trader) or do you prefer to trade the technical points of a chart (technical trader), or do you combine both these methods? You can also learn if this crazy market is really for you at all. How do you handle stress and how do you feel about risk? Can you take your emotions out of trading? This market is not for every trader/investor. You can also start putting together your trading plan, system, and/or strategy. Fortunately, or unfortunately, there are a million ways to profit from this market and a million and one ways to lose. All of these points are so important to learn about yourself BEFORE YOU RISK YOUR HARD EARNED CASH!! No two forex traders are alike. The hardest part of trading to learn?? : patience.
