Real world vs DEMO

[Droid3000]

Hi
Everybody knows-winning with DEMO account didn't mean winning with real money. My question - is somebody makes profit at REAL after loosing DEMO?
I lost about 50% at my DEMO account - it take's me one year.
Do I have a chance - I open real account today.

Demo or real

If you are opening your real LIVE account for the first time today...I want to wish you good luck!

Go for it, after all in Demo you are not losing real money.

Buying a car is more risky. So nobody does money without winnig at Demo? No such examples?

Real or Demol

please my brother,

Continue with the Demo till u are certain of picking pips consistently then you can try you real account.

Or you will risk lossing your money

Jeffboy - what do you mean -""picking pips consistently"" ?
Three months? Three years? When it would be consistently?

Yo dude, i think you better think twice about opening a live account. The reason being playing with a demo account is supposed to be much easier than live account. And when you said you lost 50% of your demo account in a year, my opinion is you're gonna do a lot worse on the live account.
Trust me. I am talking based on my experience of 2 mths of using demo acct and 4 mths of using live account. Its much more difficult.
However, if u still insist, good luck then!

Prices were crazy on November 1st. Only having a 3% drawdown in your first week is fine. It means you must be doing reasonable money management.
