Yet this advise is not for the new traders because they can get lost during the volatilty of markets so they should go for longer term trades instead of short term trading.
Still i would insist on reading the bonus terms and conditions before availing them or otherwise it becomes really hard getting at the required threshold to return the amount or withdraw.
At least trade a demo account for a minimum of six month and if you are learning / developing your skills then you should only stick with a demo to learn how the markets work.
That's true, they should in fact trade a demo account with virtual funds and learn first before risking their own capital. If they lose on demo they actually will not lose anything but gain experience.
The only key is practice and learning which eventually takes some time but unfortunately many of us does not cater learning the skills which are needed to make money in forex.
Obviously but not limited to one single broker you mentioned here. Demo accounts are used to learn forex trading processes more easily than any other sources in my opinion.
One the broker is tested thoroughly using the demo account we still have to test other processes like withdrawal etc which can not be tested on a demo so always start with small to test these processes before depositing huge junks to any broker in my opinion.
The demo accounts are best to test any broker's processes without investing any money with them. It has actually many benefits which a new trader can count on like testing a broker without being getting scammed by depositing money to any scam broker. The new traders can learn forex trading...
First learn in the beginners level, use a demo account and trade it to understand how market works. Do not go live in start or else end up losing money and losing money mean exiting the markets.
