Is it normal for a complete nooby to go from 1k to 10k in a demo in under 3 weeks, then go from 1k to broke on live account? should I try my luck? I got a strategy devised that seemed to work really good in demo.  and im posting here because it's swing trading, what complete newbs like to do.

Yep, that's normal! We see it all the time.
Most likely it had nothing to do with your trading system, but was caused by your money management (or lack of it).
Tell us your system, and your money management plan, and we can tell you what went wrong.
