Demo currency trading is recommended as the way to begin by almost everyone, including us here on this site. Trading in a demo account enables you to start to know your broker’s platform and services, discover the weaknesses and strengths of your system and work out your own strengths and weaknesses as a trader at the same time. Let’s examine what to keep a look out for and how to avoid the traps. Sometimes this is correct. Infrequently you might even find the demo accounts are managed on a completely different platform. The broker might have many incentives for doing this. Legitimized reasons would include liberating the genuine platform and its server space for live traders. Sneaky reasons would involve tricks like drawing you in with something that is convenient to use and perhaps even stacked in your favour (if it does not access the genuine market) so they can grab your money and then watch you lose it in the physical world.
Irrespective of the reason, this is something to avoid. Clearly in that circumstance the demo is pointless for preparing you to trade with that broker.
