Practice Demo versus Real XAUUSD Account
A practice account differs from a live account mainly in terms of deposits. Funds cannot be added or withdrawn in a practice account. In a live account, however, traders can use real money, withdraw profits, or bear losses that diminish their balance.
Investors & Traders should use this practice practice demo trade account to test out their xauusd gold strategy and practice gold until such a time when they can trade the markets profitably. Then when they learn how to make a trading profit on their practice account then they can open a real/live account and start trading the real market.
Once a beginner trader registers for the free practice trading account the next thing is to learn the software & also learn xauusd gold systems and xauusd gold strategies that will be used to generate signals for gold. The trader then will test these xauusd gold strategies on Trading practice account that they will have opened to test if these strategies are profitable. Once the xauusd gold strategies are profitable on the demo account & a trader starts to earn consistent profits on their XAUUSD practice demo xauusd account then they can consider registering a real/live account.
