Many brokers provide a demo-account in which you can trade using virtual money and practice trades without risking your real money. Demo-accounts show you the rates at real-time, quite like a real trading platform. You can definitely practice, but this is not the most efficient way to gain experience, nor assure that your strategy is profitable for the long run.
Forex Practice provides a platform which resembles a common real-time platform, except that it is fed by historic data. The term historic simply implies not at the moment. However, the data is actually of the recent year, and was 'real-time' not too long ago. Unlike standard demo-accounts Forex Practice allows you to control the velocity of the streamed data. The data can be streamed at a normal rate and reconstruct the market's exact behavior. It can also be stopped or accelerated at your choice, up to 1:60 ratio.
In a standard demo-account you can practice only when the market is open. Using our service you can practice any time, even on weekends. This is a real advantage for those who hold another career but want to practice without interrupting their main occupation.
Actually, the day can be divided into three trading sessions or three periods according to the main market that influences the rates (the European market, the American, and the Asian). Rates behave with different characteristics at different times of day. Using our service allows you to practice the currency trading market at different hours without waiting for the actual times.
Good practice is based on repetition. You try and retry until you systematically profit. In a standard demo-account you cannot repeat the same scenario twice. You never know when a similar scenario will occur again. Using our service you can try again and again and better understand your mistakes.
The ability to control the velocity of the streamed data is one of the main advantages of our service. When the foreign exchange market is sideways and rates are stable, you can accelerate the streamed data. You don't have to waste your time waiting for the market to become more volatile. When the market is too volatile you can pause the streamed data so you can concentrate and calmly explore the chart taking all the time that you need. The result is gaining the experience of a day within an hour, and the experience of a week within a day. Estimate how much time you can save here.
