- How to open cfd charts and place indicators
- How to Analyze CFD Trading charts

Practice Demo versus Live CFD Account
The cfd practice practice cfd account only difference to the live cfd account is the deposit, with a practice cfd account one cannot deposit or withdraw money but with the real cfd account a trader can deposit and withdraw money & all the trades will be transacted using real money & profits can be withdrawn and losses will be deducted from the deposited amount.
Traders should use this practice account to test out their cfd strategy and practice cfd until such a time that they can trade the cfd market profitably. Then when they learn how to make a trading profit on their practice cfd account then they can open a live account and begin trading the real trading market.
Once a beginner cfd trader registers for the free demo cfd account the next step is to learn the cfd software as well as learn cfd systems & cfd strategies that will be used to generate cfd signals for cfd. The cfd trader will then test these cfd strategies on the CFD practice account that they will have opened to test if these strategies are profitable. Once the cfd strategies are profitable on the cfd practice account & a trader starts to make consistent profits on their practice demo cfd account then they can consider opening a real trading account.
