We believe in order to replicate a live trading environment as best as possible, treat your simulated trades like they are in your live trading account: use realistic stops, trade the same number of contracts you would be trading in your live account, use the same strategies you plan on using in the real market, etc. You can use the simulator to experiment and familiarize yourself with the trading platform and your possible trading strategy.
While simulated trading can be an essential practice for refining strategies and techniques, it doesn’t fully replicate live trading using real money. In our opinion, emotions such as fear can impact decision-making when actual capital is on the line. Books on trading psychology can be helpful resources, offering insights and techniques to maintain discipline during trading. Trading with real money may introduce a different level of accountability and emotional involvement.
Please take caution – A trading simulator may not give you the exact results as you would see if the trades had been placed in the live market.
