- How to place orders
- How to open charts & place indicators
- How to interpret Oil Trading charts
- How to monitor profits & losses
- How to navigate the Meta Trader 4 software interface
While practicing all the above, the money used is virtual cash, meaning a oil practice trader will practice using virtual money but everything else including crude price movements will reflect the true crude market movement.
Practice Demo versus Live Trading Account
The practice practice account only difference to the live account is the deposit, with a practice account one can not deposit or withdraw money but with the live account a trader can deposit & withdraw money & all the trades will be transacted using real money & profits can be withplotted and losses will be deducted from the deposited amount.
Traders should use this demo practice account to test out their oil strategy & practice oil until such a time that they can trade the market profitably. Then when they learn how to make profit on their practice trading account then they can open a live crude account & begin trading the real market.
Once a starter trader registers for the free demo account the next step is to learn the trading platform as well as learn oil trading systems & oil strategies which will be used to generate signals for crude oil. The trader will then test these oil strategies on the practice account that they will have opened to test if these strategies are profitable. Once the oil strategies are profitable on the practice account & a trader starts to make consistent profits on their practice demo account then they can consider opening a real crude account.
