Talking about strategies on paper is always better than losing money directly, right? The reality is that most people are afraid of losing and only then start to consider doing simulations.

Talking about war on paper is indeed better than an immediate liquidation... But does anyone really think they can transition from a demo account to real money without losing a single hair? I have my doubts.

Paper currency trading? Ha, I rely on this to go from losing badly to barely breaking even, really a lifesaver

Paper trading is essentially playing with a simulated account, but very few people actually learn anything from it. I've seen too many people achieve an annualized return of 1000% on a demo account, only to go bankrupt as soon as real money is involved [dog head]
