Yeah, I felt the same way. Demo trading is fine for learning the basics, but it doesn’t prepare you for the real thing. What made sense for me was trying something that uses live market data, but with smaller risks attached. You might want to check https://gerchikfx.com/trial-real-market-volume/en/?utm_source=28&utm_medium=211&utm_campaign=9. It basically lets you trade with real market volume, so you get the pressure, but you don’t burn all your money when you make rookie mistakes. Honestly, it feels way more useful than just playing around on a demo.
