Demo conditions are never the same as real accounts, also there is a lot more emotion when trading real, so far more likely to make mistakes.

No way to ignore; but traders need to use the demo sincerely, if they want to make success in the live trading; otherwise the demo trading will be meaningless!
I meant that the demo has absolute liquidity. On small accounts, excellent liquidity, but not absolute. On large accounts, a lack of liquidity can already be felt in trading.

Doesn`t that depend from a wrong/good broker choice.

Demo trading is simply to know how the trading component functions. Step by step instructions to open and close a trade. The most effective method to utilize MT4 for trading. Be that as it may, the genuine learning starts when you begin to trade with genuine cash. Trading with genuine cash includes feelings that reason a large portion of the mix-up. You can likewise utilize demo to test your trading methodology.
You are quite correct the psychology is absent when on demo , you just can't replace that .

Forex trading is not an easy job when you are trading with a demo account its completely different as demo account trading is not realistic enough as you are not using real money and you don't have any emotional connection with the money because its dummy and it dosent matter either you loose the amount but if you have some money in the liv account you have actual emotional connection you have a feel how market goes but still I would suggest to start with demo account because it will build your decision making power once you master in it you can go with real money and that will actually teach you how to handle the risk.
 
Right, and if not dealt with properly, these emotions can ruin the entire trading journey.

Emotions is only one of the hundreds reasons , why most traders end up as losers

Learning is the key in trading business You can Learn with demo account but its not realistic because in demo account you are not trading with real money and you cannot feel the loss risk much in demo account.

Demo account is perceived as a kind of game. Even if you try to take it seriously, you don't understand real consequences and cause ot this you aren't getting nervous when trading demo account. On the other hand, when trading real account, you trader always has fear of loosing money. And that's the main difference. The only way to overcome this is to trade demo account only until you understand how trading works and then immedeatly move to trading with real money. It's okey that in the beginning traders lose money and that's the most fruitful period in terms of education and mastering stamina, but only those who overcome it, will become professionals and begin earning life trading.

Yes, demo winners can be losers when they start with real cash. But still demo trading is highly recommended as it familiarizes you with the basics. Don’t worry about the losses that you incur in your real account as you can convert them into profits by using the knowledge that you gained out of demo trading and improvising your methods.

Perfectly said!
Demo account is nothing but a tool in which you are trying to undestand how to use various variables and implementing new strategies.
Useful for beginner to get familiar with trading and useful for experienced trader to try out the new strategies.
 
I see, traders try to close their green trades too early in live; but they continue in demo.
cause it is called loss aversion , loss aversion on live with real money, but traders behave differently on demo money/ fake money.
