Here's my advice for what it's worth: use the demo platform exclusively for 12 months.

no one ever learnt how to trade on a demo platform, ever. the demo platform will let you learn how to use the platform and test strategies - that's it. get off the demo and start live trading on the mt4 platform for 10 pence a point as soon as possible because that's when your actual learning will start.

when i log on and try to trade on my demo account - it says you do not have a default account. Can anyone tell me how to make the demo account my default account?
