Why use a Forex simulator?
The first step in refining your trading skills and strategies is to accept that this is a process that involves repetition, practice and reinforcement. This is where a forex trading simulator is very useful. It will train, save you money and ensure that you don’t start out a loser. Many novice traders rush into forex trading enticed by broker ads of 400:1 leverage; free real time demo accounts or simply by the thrill of getting into the action. Even those that test their signals service or trading strategies in real time to see how they perform don’t do so adequately. In any case, there is a limit to how much you can gain from real time practice: testing trading strategies with live demo trading accounts is only useful if you know what you are doing. Unlike a live forex demo account which functions in real time, a forex simulator enables users to upload, view and review historical data at any given point in time. Used to confirm one's understanding of pattern recognition and trading signals, data can be rewound and fast forwarded to test and retest your knowledge and understanding. Using a forex simulator enables you to get months of training in just a few days work because you can pause, rewind, fast forward. You can set up 5 minute timeframes to up to what ever you choose. You can take snapshots of trades. You can use any indicator you like. You can keep a trade journal and refine your strategy.
Demo account vs Forex Tester
Some traders prefer to train on a demo account and do not understand why they need a market simulator. Demo account is a wonderful thing. It allows training without any risk to lose real money and at the same time gaining all necessary trading skills and checking your trading system. But demo account has one very significant disadvantage – you may spend years on studying how to trade. Market changes quite slow, and you can not do anything about that. You can not control the time! Just imagine: you have a trading strategy which works on a daily timeframe and all orders are executed once a week. How much time will you need to test your strategy? Half a year will pass when you realize you need to change some parameters, then half a year again and again. With Forex Tester you would be able to test such a strategy within a couple of hours. Let's look at another example: your strategy needs the orders to be opened every Monday at 10 a.m. Thus, you have to be at the traders terminal at the same time every Monday. But what if you have to work at this time, become ill or skipped the trade by some other reason? The statistics will be broken. But for Forex Tester there is no time limitation, you can test on weekends (when market is closed), in the evening after your work, etc. You can pause testing, and continue it at any time. On demo account you do not have any opportunity to come back in time and correct a mistake. If you made a mistake, it will remain, spoiling your strategy statistics. But this is not a problem for Forex Tester! It works like a time machine, you can go back to any time and it will restore all your closed trades and open positions to this moment. Now time is under your control! Forex Tester options compare to demo account
