Used Oanda also and am active with them. I did the same, replacing the 100K with my expected trading capital.

I found demo trading great for starters, but for me the real learning really kicked when I chipped in my own coin. I could not attach real, intrinsic value to demo dollars; essential errors and mistakes did not carry the same pedagogical weight.
Furthermore, there are additional details to take into consideration when you trade your real dough Iike variable spreads, low liquidity phases and fees that are not reflected in Paper Trading in TradingView+Oanda.
So I opened an account at Oanda with a āsacrificialā 3k$ and let me tell you that its a different ballgame altogether. I feel my losses and they cut for real, same goes with my wins. The brainās plasticity is much more sollicited that way, and the added motivation makes me much more disciplined.
Oneās gotta give some to get some!

I think is it better to trade with a small real account than a Demo.
This recreates the emotional circumstance that only a ārealā trade can bring.
Just enough to trade .01 lots. You can only win or lose a small amount but the experience will be very different to that of a demo

Trade on demo while you learn. Truth is learning to trade properly can take many years, not just 6 months as others have put it. It took me 3 years to start making consistent gains without banning my account. 70% of learning has to do with conditioning your mental strength. The other 30% is for learning and simulating with demo.

I agree with you on this one.
It makes more sense to open a demo account with a realistic amount of funds.

Appreciate the advice.
Thank you
if in my opinion, you first understand the mastery of the EA robot and demo account.
Thanks mate! Basically, anything like unrealistic including demo trading equity is costly (the ultimate result).
I agree with everyone advising to have a demo account, itās more convenient, believe me

A simultaneous process can be carried out: you can learn from various theoretical aspects and further try to practice those learned things on demo trading account. In this process, you will be able to see the differences between real world and theoretical sectors. Again, it can also help you to be more practical in decision making and skilled.

Work on the demo for a while, and then start working with real capital. There is no need to hurry anyway, you must learn to apply your theoretical knowledge in practice. Itās important that you donāt have any serious problems laterā¦
