Why you should start on a demo account

A demo account is a practice account at a broker: real prices and charts, but virtual money.

What a demo gives you

  • The interface. You learn to open trades and set stops and targets without risking real money on a mistake.
  • The mechanics. You see how the lot affects profit and loss and get used to how price moves.
  • The signals. You check how TradeSignalos signals work and learn to open them quickly and calmly.

When to move to a real account

  • 15–20 trades done without technical mistakes;
  • you confidently calculate lot and risk;
  • the stop-loss is set automatically, out of habit.

Then start with a small real deposit: emotions with real money are different, and you need to get used to them.

Don't stay on demo for months. Its purpose is skill, not virtual profit.
