I remember trading a demo account for a year, was a whole different ball game when I raised the capital to start trading seriously. Nothing quite like seeing your savings going into the red to rile up the emotions. I mainly use demo accounts now for testing strategies or brokers but never as accurate as a real account.

This is why I think; cent type live trading account can play important role before the real trading!

Though you can never feel the real fear or experience of loosing your money until you trade with live account but still the importance of demo account is vital as you have a ground to play and learn and than go to live accounts for trading.

I got your point; but if any trader open a demo with small amount like 100$ and try to concentrate enough; then what’s the issue?

The issues is the same. This $100 are not real and therefore the emotions are the same not real.
