Practice Demo versus Live Account
The stock indices practice demo stock indices account only difference to the live stock indices account is the deposit, with a demo stock indices account a stock indices trader cannot deposit or withdraw money but with the real stock indices account a stock indices trader can deposit and withdraw money and all the trades will be transacted using real money and profits can be withdrawn and losses will be deducted from the deposited amount.
Traders should use this demo practice trading account to test out their stock indices strategy and practice stock indices until such a time that they can trade the stock indices market profitably. Then when they learn how to make a profit on their demo practice stock index trading account then they can open a live stock indices account and start trading the real stock index market.
Once a beginner stock indices trader registers for the free demo stock indices account the next step is to learn the stock index trading platform as well as learn stock index trading systems and stock indices strategies which will be used to generate stock indices signals for stock indices. The trader will then test these stock indices strategies on the Indices Trading demo account that they will have opened to test if these trading strategies are profitable. Once the stock indices strategies are profitable on the stock indices demo account and a stock indices trader starts to make consistent profits on their Stock Indices Trading practice demo stock indices account then they can consider opening a real stock index trading account.
