Why am I a champion in demo trading but a disaster in real trading?
In demo trading, I win almost every time. Same strategy, same setups, same rules—profit after profit. But the moment I switch to real money, it’s a different story. Loss after loss. Stop loss gets hit almost every trade.
Nothing changes except the account type. Same charts. Same technical analysis. Same risk management. So why does it work in demo but fail in live trading?
Is it psychology? Execution? Market conditions? I’d love to hear from traders who’ve gone through this and turned it around.
What chart timeframe do you find most effective for capturing small price movements in day trading?& indicator combinations have worked well for you when identifying entry points?
Hey Binance fam! After long practice, Today I started my journey in futures trading, came in with a mix of hope and panic 😅
I made 3 very small trades using just a $5 margin with 10x leverage. Thankfully, all 3 were wins with small profits. Not much, but I’m happy I didn’t lose on my first day.
Attaching today’s PNL below. Would really appreciate your valuable advice on how I can improve from here. Thanks in advance! 🙌
