Hi I should have explained it a little better, I was meaning when your account goes into a negative position and its your real hard earned money your emotions and behaviour are different compared to demo when you have no attachment to the money. This means the decisions you make in demo might be totally different to real account given the exact same situation due to the emotional response to the real money. Hope this helps! Matt

Hi As far as I know they react and mimic the real market and charges you would incur eg overnight charges etc What demo doesn't do though which in my experience is more important is you don't get any of the real emotion, you need to experience the real feel of trading even if its £1pp to start off with. You could practice for a long time on demo and get a great strategy in place (which is great to do) but as soon as you go real and see that swing negative in your account your strategy goes out the window. So if you can start going real you will become a better trader much quicker. Hope this helps. Matt
