One reason why as many beginner get fail beause they don't using demo account seriously to learning, because desired to making real money in trading, but after get failure hence they realize if demo account is important as early preperation.
yeah, let's first learn the forex business is on demo account. so, if we do not want to reproduce the error in trading, then we must learn demo account to the maximum. so we will not do a lot of carelessness on the real account.

If any newbie they seriously learning through demo account I think will better than jump directly to real account, and demo account always useful for backtesting any system and strategy forex

of course it's better to start with demo, if you don't want to loss. But in general demo is just the way to "taste" trading. And only live trading gives the opportutiny to learn and to make the knowledge deeper.

indicators are very important for us to be able to analyze the market well, because the indicator then we will not be any in the decision to trade. We can use a demo account or follow a contest demo to learn to understand the indicators well

For some trader using indicator is like as compulsory task as weapon to analyze the market, and it will boosting their confidence to making decision, but also not all trader use indicator which some of them only use list object as help tool like as trend line horisontal line

I am new but I have been practicing on Demo for 3 months. It's a good basics. But I still have to work on my strategy. I trade little sums cause don't want to lose all my money at once. But using Demo was very useful for me. At least I got used to MT4 and can work with it efficiently now.

I think very good step newbie start and learn using demo account, if not yet familiar with platform trading they can learn how to use platform, and also with demo account any trader can practice in real market condition with free of risk at all

I prefer to go with a Real Account straight away. Somehow I feel that Demo Accounts do not give you the right feel or mindset that you need to be in for trading. There are plenty of cent account options to start your trading journey with.

Before live trading, we the traders have to take demo account seriously to acquire all basic fundamental market principle which is very supportive to continue a live trading in a proper way. But practically by and large newcomers don’t believe the importance of this trading place. As a result without acquiring any trading knowledge, they try to make money from this market place very rapidly and fall a great loss. Thus they blame this currency trading place.

Demo accounts and real accounts are equally needed in the business, and therefore we must use this account properly. before start trading real money account then we must use the first demo account as we prepare to trade real account so that we will have a good preparation

Certain trader using demo with goal to making backtest any new system or indicator or if they like and want using ea also they need to backtest on demo account, but actually result good in demo not guarantee also good in real account

You know., there special simulators to practice trading. But still I think demo is a nice var to test a new strategy before implementing it on the live acc. And it's totally free.
There is an opinion that demo can desorient newbies due to fully virtual money, but it's not a very big minus.

it is obvious to use demo accounts specially if you are novice. I have got mine from signalstime.
Demo is good start when one is new in market but following rules of Forex is also important when you are working on demo. Because only demo trading will not help you until you are serious with it.

I traded on demo for several months and now I'm on live for more than one month. I can say demo was useful. I didn't lose that account yet cause I will need it to test some new features (if I decide to change my strategy).

Practicing with Demo account will definitely prepare you for Live Account. It's like a practice lab for a doctor. But a doctor won't stay there forever. It is the same with you and other new traders. You cannot stay on a demo account for too long if you want to be successful at real-world of trading. Trading with a Live account will teach you what Demo account won't. So if it's your goal to trade constantly and make REAL money, then you need to start trading a live account.

Good to here that you have started with learning and practicing demo, also it been helpful. Not every one can do it easily because forex is risky and people just want to earn money and they are never ready to learn any new things.
