Demo versus Live Trade Account
The only thing different about the demo MT5 account compared to the real xauusd gold MT5 account is the deposit: with a demo xauusd MT5 account, you can't deposit or withdraw money, but with the live gold MT5 account, a xauusd trader can deposit and withdraw money, and all trades use real money, so profits can be taken out, and losses are subtracted from the deposit.
Traders and Investors should use this practice demo MT5 account to test out their gold strategy and practice trading til such a time when they can trade the markets profitably. Then after they get to learn how to earn profit on their practice demo Gold MT5 account then they can open a real account & start trading the live gold market.
After a novice trader registers for a complimentary practice MT5 account, the subsequent steps involve familiarizing oneself with the trading platform and mastering gold systems and XAUUSD strategies intended for generating trade signals. The trader then tests these strategies on the MT5 demo account they have opened to verify their profitability. Only once trading strategies prove profitable on the MT5 demo account, and the trader starts achieving consistent gains with it, should they contemplate opening a live XAUUSD account.
