Trades made through the demo account will not be subject to slippage and interest adjustments, or out of hours price movements Trades may be rejected if you have insufficient funds to open them, but, unlike on a live account, will never be rejected on the grounds of size or price You will not be charged for chart packages on a demo account Trades will not be closed if you have insufficient funds to cover margin and running losses, which can happen on a live account.
Before opening a live account we recommend you read the information available on our website as well as the Customer Agreement to ensure that you are aware of the features of a live account.

Demo Account.
A demo account is a type of account offered by trading platforms, which is funded with fake money that enables a prospective customer to experiment with the trading platform and its various features, before deciding to set up a real account funded with the customers actual money. Demo accounts are offered by a wide variety of online trading platforms, including stock trading platforms, foreign exchange trading venues, and commodities exchanges.
What Is a Demo Account?
Demo accounts became widespread in the twenty-first century, along with online trading. They are marketed to customers as a way for a customer to test a platform's user experience and features before committing their own money to these investments or paying the platform trading commissions. For instance, one popular online stock trading platform is TD Ameritrade's thinkorswim. Prospective customers of the company, or customers who simply want to spend time practicing trading strategies risk-free, can sign up for a demo account online. Once you have a demo account, you can use their "paperMoney" platform to buy and sell stocks using fake money, but test those trades under real, live market situations. According to TD Ameritrade, the product is geared toward who've always wanted to trade, but don't have enough money, have the money but don't know where to start, or are experienced traders who want to test new strategies.
Demo accounts are also popular means for traders who are experienced trading in stocks but want to experiment with other asset classes. For instance, investors may want to open a demo account before they start investing in futures, commodities, or currencies, even if they already have much experience investing in stocks. That's because these markets are subject to different influences, allow different kinds of market orders, and feature different kinds of margin requirements than stock markets.
How a Demo Account Works.
Demo accounts were not particularly feasible before the widespread use of personal computers and the Internet. When trades were mostly recorded using paper, monitoring a virtual trade would have been time-consuming and costly, eliminating the primary benefit of a demo account, namely that it's free. Demo accounts began to be offered by online brokerages in the 2000s, as high-speed internet was starting to be adopted by more Americans. Demo accounts have also been adopted as a means of teaching high school students the basics of investing in the stock market. Many school districts around the country offer personal finance or economics classes that require students to maintain a demo stock account and monitor the progress of their investments over the course of the semester.

Ready to start trading? Open an account in minutes.
Already have a live trading account? It's easy to fund your account using one of the following payment methods.
Frequently asked questions.
What are OANDA's hours of operation?
Our hours of operation coincide with the global financial markets. In the US, trading is available from approximately 5pm Sunday to 5pm Friday (New York time). Please note: these times are subject to change during daylight savings time.
What is margin trading?
Margin trading allows you to leverage the funds in your account to potentially generate larger profits by depositing just a fraction of the full value of your trade. This means that you can enter into positions larger than your account balance. The downside, however, is that you can also potentially incur significant losses if the trade moves against you.
Why didn't my trade execute?
Below are the three most common reasons why your trade was not successful:
1.'Bid' or 'ask' price did not reach your specified target.
The most likely reason why your trade did not execute is because the applicable market price has not reached the price you specified. Depending on your chart settings, the chart you are viewing may not be showing the type of price applicable to your trade.
Many of the charts on our trading platform use the average price, meaning an average between the 'bid' and 'ask' prices, so they don't take into consideration the spread. The spread is the difference between the actual buy and sell price of a financial product at any given time.
A long (buy) trade will open at the 'ask' and close at the 'bid' price. A short (sell) trade will open at the 'bid' and close at the 'ask' price. To verify the actual traded prices, you can add a 'bid' or 'ask' price overlay to the chart on our trading platform by clicking on 'Add Study' at the lower left of the chart and selecting the 'Price Overlay'. There you will be able to select either the high or low, 'bid' or 'ask' price overlay. This will show you the price that triggers a trade.
Note: the MT4 platform only shows the 'bid' price. To see the historical 'low/high', 'ask/bid', you will need to go to the OANDA trading platform and follow the steps mentioned above.
2. Insufficient funds.
On your trade ticket (new order window), you can type in the size of the trade you wish to open in order to see the margin needed to open that trade. If you are placing a market order, our platform will tell you right away if you do not have sufficient margin (available funds) to place the trade. If you are trying to place an entry order, our platform will not stop you from placing the order if you do not have the current margin (available funds) necessary but the order will fail to execute if you have not increased the available funds on your account when the pre-specified entry price is reached.
3. Take profit or stop loss was set too close to your order price.
The third reason your order likely did not trigger is because your take profit or stop loss was set too close to your order price. A valid take profit and stop loss must be placed farther away than the current spread on the financial instrument that you are trading. As spread is dynamic and can increase during news events or volatile market hours, we recommend your take profit and stop loss to always be set at a range farther away than the maximum spread for any instrument. Review our recent OANDA spreads to determine your take profit and stop loss levels. Be sure to click on 'Maximum', located on the top-right corner of the spread chart (please see below).
How do I contact OANDA to look into a trade or order?
Whenever you have questions about your trades and/ or orders, we are happy to assist. Below is information that will help you with this process.

To ensure accurate and speedy processing, please provide as much information as possible about your trades or orders such as those listed below:
Your username and account ID number (for example, 001-001-1234567-001 or MT4 account ID 7654321) The trading platform used at the time such as fxTrade or MT4. Also, which medium you used to access the platforms such as desktop, mobile, web or any third-party system. The ticket number or transaction ID of the trades or orders involved The instrument(s) involved The time and date of the transaction Please describe the issue with your trades or orders Screenshots of your platform regarding the trades or order What remediation or assistance you would like us to provide.

Cryptocurrency Trading Demo Account - How to start.
Cryptocurrencies are one of the most attractive choices when it comes to investing or trading. They are rightfully called the investment of the decade and many experts consider them to be the future of the financial system. Cryptocurrencies defied all market expectations this year and they have successfully eclipsed many other financial markets. Having said that, cryptocurrencies are still a risky investment not only for new traders but for all investors who do not have the knowledge and the understanding of the relatively new market.
It would be a terrible shame not to provide to such people an opportunity to trade cryptocurrencies and be a part of the exponentially growing market where anything is possible. Cryptocurrency trading with real money can be, however, a devastating experience and one should approach it very carefully. Luckily for us, there is a practice account called a demo account offered by many companies where risk-free trading is possible.
Crypto trading - Where to open a Free demo version.
Cryptocurrency trading is available at many CFDs brokers. These providers give the chance to try crypto trading with imaginary funds and do not require from you any initial investment. An email account and your name usually suffice. We have selected 3 following leading cryptocurrency brokers that all offer a free demo version and are highly reputable and licensed by the European regulator CySEC.

General warning: Between 71-84.16% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with these providers. You should consider whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. The comparison above doesn't cover all brokers out there. We might be partners with some of the listed companies.
If you want further information regarding each company, do not hesitate to read separate reviews where you can also share your experience once you obtain it.
How to open a free demo and your first crypto position.
There is nothing difficult about opening a free demo version for crypto trading. You can visit one of the mentioned brokers above or any other company that you trust. Once you do that head for their homepage where information about a free demo account should be mentioned. In order to create your first crypto position visit the cryptocurrency section, which might be also sometimes located under the CFD or Forex segment. Once you do that you are free to choose your desired coins and start trading with your imaginary funds. If you lose this capital, nothing happens and you can ask for replenishment or open a new demo.
Cryptocurrency Trading - Purpose of a Demo Account.
A function of a cryptocurrency demo account is to try trading without having to worry about your real money. You should act on your demo version as if you were trading on a real account so you could learn the appropriate behaviour which you can then apply on the real market. A crypto demo account should help you to:
Get a real touch how cryptocurrency market works and behaves in certain situations. Test platform of a broker where you might trade in the future with your real funds. Test your strategies for crypto trading and your expected moves which you plan to use later on with real sources. Determine which cryptocurrencies are the most suitable and profitable for your style of trading.

Introduction to Forex Trading.
Because forex (FX) is a decentralized market in which dealers disseminate their price feeds through their trading platforms, it is crucial to learn the features, and how to use the platform you will be trading on. Fortunately, FX traders can test out each platform using a demo account, which means no real money is at risk.
Reputable FX brokers allow potential customers to download a free demo version of their software. This is critical if the customer is to become acquainted with the platform's layout and use it to trade. Here we'll discuss the importance of demo trading and let you know what you should look for when trying different platforms.
Each Platform Is Different.
Many brokers commonly offer several platforms. Common platforms include MetaTrader 4 and 5, also called MT4 and MT5. In addition to these platforms, most brokers offer additional platforms, although these additional options may be proprietary to the broker. This means that the platform may not be available from other brokers.
While each platform may function and look slightly different, most provide roughly the same features. These features include forex quotes/prices, charts, technical analysis tools, news feeds, trade history, drawing tools, and functionality for buying and selling currencies.
Some platforms have more features than others. For example, some platforms have integrated fundamental and economic analysis tools, while others do not. For a trader taking long-term trades, this may be important, but for a short-term trader, it isn't.
The image below is a snapshot of the MT4 platform.
Along the top of the platform are shortcuts to various tools and settings. Below this is a charting window to see the price history of a currency pair or other asset. Below the chart is the terminal. There are multiple tabs in the terminal, providing access to news, account history, current trades, and other information. As mentioned, not every platform is set up this way, but most offer the same features just arranged in a different way.
Placing Orders.
It's a good idea to place at least 50 demo trades on each platform before trading actual money so that you can master the specifics of order entry on each platform. A trader should never trade live unless he or she can confidently answer all of the following questions:
How do I place a limit order? How do I set a stop order? Can I set a limit and a stop at the time of entry? Are the spreads on the platform fixed or variable? And what is the typical spread? What is the lot size that I can trade (1,000 units, 10,000 units, 100,000 units)? Can I mix and match the lot sizes? Can I call the dealing room directly if my internet connection goes down?
Some platforms use pop-up order windows, while others allow you trade by clicking prices directly on a chart. Typically, to buy a currency pair, click on the offer part of the quote (the ask), and to sell, you click on the bid part. Some platforms allow you to choose market order or limit order after the quote window pops up, while others force you to make your selection beforehand.
Here is a sample order screen in MT4. To bring up a detailed order screen like this, in most trading platforms you can right-click on a chart or quote and select new order or new trade.
On the left is a very short-term chart of the currency pair the trade will take place in. This currency pair is also listed at the top of the trade box. Next, input the volume you want to trade. Enter a stop loss and take profit level for the trade. The trade type can be a market order or a pending order. If you want to buy/sell at the current price, choose the market as the type. If you want to buy or sell at a different price, choose pending.
With a pending order, there are more options, as you need to input the price you want to buy or sell at. You may also choose to put an expiry on the order. Once everything is filled out, place the order.
Taxes.
One function that most new FX traders overlook is tax reporting. Because FX is a global, unregulated market, dealers as a general rule do not provide any documentation to the tax authorities in the trader's country of residence. Tax reporting is solely the responsibility of the trader. Brokers produce detailed transaction histories, in an electronic format, from which the trader must then compile their tax reports. Such an arrangement calls for a trading platform with highly organized and flexible reporting functions.
But reporting quality varies greatly from dealer to dealer. All dealers will provide you with a full transaction report, but how those transactions are laid out could mean the difference between spending hours reconciling trades, or taking one minute to print out a final report to present to your accountant. Some FX traders may generate thousands of trades in a year. A platform that reconciles all those trades into an easy-to-understand, end-of-year income statement, breaking down all profits and expenses, is invaluable.
Tax treatment of currency trading is very much dependent on the individual's tax status. Most dealers will not advise you regarding tax matters, nor should you take their advice if they do, because they lack the expertise to deal with the multitude of tax authorities around the world. You should always consult with a tax professional before choosing a course of action.
As a general rule, the easier a platform is to understand, and the more organized the reporting of trade history is, the better. After having dome some demo trading, look through the trade history and account statements to see how easy it would be to see your profits and losses for the year.
Trade Like It's Real.
Once you have mastered the basic functionality of a trading platform, use the demo platform to experiment with various strategies. Are you a short-term momentum trader who likes high leverage and tries to capture 10 to 20 pip moves? Or do you prefer using less leverage and holding longer-term positions that could potentially yield hundreds of pips? Demo trading can help you discover what type of trading suits you best.
However, demo trading is not the real thing, even though it helps prepare you for the real thing. You may be perfectly calm after sustaining a big loss in a demo account but might become completely unhinged over even a small loss in your real account. To make demo trading as productive as possible, you need to trade the demo account as though the money were real. For example, if you plan on funding your real account with $5,000, don't trade a demo account that has $100,000.
The demo account should mirror your real situation as much as possible. Pretend the money is real, and don't do things you wouldn't do with real money.
The Bottom Line.
Even after you decide to trade live, demo trading can be very valuable. Many successful traders will test strategies in a practice account before they try them out with real money. Although demo trading will not guarantee you profits in real life, many traders agree that if you cannot first achieve success in a demo, you are almost certain to fail in your live account. This is why demo trading is vital to the growth and development of FX traders.

Demo Account.
A demo account is a type of account offered by trading platforms, which is funded with fake money that enables a prospective customer to experiment with the trading platform and its various features, before deciding to set up a real account funded with the customers actual money. Demo accounts are offered by a wide variety of online trading platforms, including stock trading platforms, foreign exchange trading venues, and commodities exchanges.
What Is a Demo Account?
Demo accounts became widespread in the twenty-first century, along with online trading. They are marketed to customers as a way for a customer to test a platform's user experience and features before committing their own money to these investments or paying the platform trading commissions. For instance, one popular online stock trading platform is TD Ameritrade's thinkorswim. Prospective customers of the company, or customers who simply want to spend time practicing trading strategies risk-free, can sign up for a demo account online. Once you have a demo account, you can use their "paperMoney" platform to buy and sell stocks using fake money, but test those trades under real, live market situations. According to TD Ameritrade, the product is geared toward who've always wanted to trade, but don't have enough money, have the money but don't know where to start, or are experienced traders who want to test new strategies.
Demo accounts are also popular means for traders who are experienced trading in stocks but want to experiment with other asset classes. For instance, investors may want to open a demo account before they start investing in futures, commodities, or currencies, even if they already have much experience investing in stocks. That's because these markets are subject to different influences, allow different kinds of market orders, and feature different kinds of margin requirements than stock markets.
How a Demo Account Works.
Demo accounts were not particularly feasible before the widespread use of personal computers and the Internet. When trades were mostly recorded using paper, monitoring a virtual trade would have been time-consuming and costly, eliminating the primary benefit of a demo account, namely that it's free. Demo accounts began to be offered by online brokerages in the 2000s, as high-speed internet was starting to be adopted by more Americans. Demo accounts have also been adopted as a means of teaching high school students the basics of investing in the stock market. Many school districts around the country offer personal finance or economics classes that require students to maintain a demo stock account and monitor the progress of their investments over the course of the semester.

"Don't Lose Your Money" Declaration.
Now, place your hand on your heart and say...
"I will demo trade until I develop a solid, profitable system before I trade with real money."
Now touch your head with your index finger and say...
"I am a smart and patient forex trader!"
Do NOT open a live trading account until you are CONSISTENTLY trading PROFITABLY on a demo account.
At least demo trade for THREE to TWELVE months.
You can hold off losing all your money for a year riiight? If you can't, just donate that money to your favorite charity or give it to your mama...show her you still care.
Concentrate on ONE major currency pair.
It gets far too complicated to keep tabs on more than one currency pair when you first start demo trading.
Plus, in the beginning, you need time to focus on improving your trading processes and creating good habits.
You'll also need to experience different market environments and learn how to adjust your methods and strategies as market behavior changes.
You can be a winner at currency trading, but as with all other aspects of life, it will take hard work, dedication, a little luck, and a whole lot of patience and good judgment.

Demo accounts.
You don't have to spend your own money on Forex right away. Most brokers offer practice demo accounts, which will let you test out the Forex market with virtual money using real market data. Using a demo account is a good way to learn how to trade. You will be able to practice by pressing the buttons and grasp everything much faster.
Advantages and Disadvantages.
As we said above, a demo account will let you practice your skills without wasting real money. Even if you make a mistake, you won't lose anything. It sounds tempting but there are pitfalls.
First of all, demo accounts offer a bigger amount of money than a trader will use during a real trade. A trader can choose any amount of money for practice. However, people often choose more than they will really trade with. They take extra money for mistakes. But on the real (live) account, traders won't have money for their faults. Moreover, with a big capital, the trader doesn't understand real losses as they are easier recouped by a big capital than by a small one.
Secondly, another important disadvantage of the demo account is the lack of real emotions. It can be described by psychology. When you have nothing to lose, you do not experience fear. Fear influences trader's behavior and not many traders can control their emotions. As a result, it doesn't make much sense to practice your skills when you do not know how you will behave in a stressful situation.
How to get a benefit from a demo account?
However, if you follow several rules, the demo account can be a really useful tool for practice.
Choose the same capital as the one you will have on the real account. Try to imagine that the money you have on the demo account is real and profits and losses are real too. Remember that if you failed to gain profit on a demo account, you will not be able to do it on the real one, so try to grasp the key elements of trading while you use the demo account.
When should use the demo account?
Furthermore, there are situations when you definitely should use the demo account.
If you have no idea how to trade on a trading platform. A demo account will help you learn its features and avoid accidental trades. If you want to start using a new trading strategy and want to see whether it works for you. You can use demo account for backtesting of this strategy: you apply this strategy to the chart and see whether it could have led to profitable trades in the past. After that, you may try the strategy in real time. This, of course, won't give you 100% guarantee that the strategy is good, but it's better than nothing. If you decided to use an automated trading program, you can test it on the demo account. Trading program is a robot/expert advisor that is not affected by emotions. It does not matter whether you implement it on demo or real accounts. If you came to the Forex market just to check your skills and play on the exchange rates. When you do not take trading seriously, it can lead to the great losses on the real account. If you see it as a game, play it on the demo one.
Making a conclusion, we can say that demo account is a good option for training. You can test your strategies without losing money if they are unprofitable. But you should remember about the weaknesses of demo trading.
Pay attention to the fact that the minimum real deposit at FBS starts from just $1. This means that you can start trading with small amounts of money and thus limit your risks, while still having a chance to reap profits on the live account!

Demo Accounts.
A free day trading demo account is a fantastic way to gain experience with zero risk. Here, we list the best forex, cfd and spread betting demo accounts. From 'no registration' practise accounts, to MT4 simulators that allow you to test strategies, we have reviews for them all. Test out brands and see if day trading could work for you - without risking capital.
Best Demo Accounts in Russia 2019.
What is a Demo Account?
A demo account is a kind of trading simulator, or practice account, that allows you to practice day trading with a wide range of financial instruments, from stocks, futures, and options to CFDs and cryptocurrency.
Demo accounts are funded with simulated money, allowing you to gain trading experience without risking real capital. This allows you to craft strategies and build confidence while getting familiar with market conditions. In addition, it's an effective way to test drive a potential broker and software.
Capabilities.
The best demo accounts allow you to simulate real trading with the only difference being that you use pretend money. This way you get the full experience of the markets and the trading platform, without the pressure of risking your actual funds.
Exploration - Testing different financial markets allows you to get a feel for how they behave while finding the right product for you. Trading penny stocks will be different to commodities, for example. Gain experience - Before you risk real capital, you can practice opening and closing positions, plus applying stops and limits. In addition, you can view margin requirements, as well as track profit and loss. Charting - Learn how to interpret and utilise charts, from testing technical indicators to identifying patterns. Past performance - You can analyse past performance to correct mistakes and hone your strategy before you put real capital on the line. Trading tools - Learn how to interpret and utilise information from news feeds and market data. Watch-lists - Demo accounts also allow you to identify and monitor markets of interest.
Benefits.
Whether it's a forex demo account in the UK and Australia or CFD and spread betting in the US, all will offer a number of benefits:
Familiarity.
Risk - Because demo accounts are funded with simulated money, mistakes won't cost you any of your hard-earned capital. In addition, they also allow you to practice day trading while you are still saving for that initial account deposit. Price action - The best way to understand price action is to experience it. Stock trading demo accounts, for example, will give you practice reacting to volatile markets and capitalising on price fluctuations. Broker & platform - Finally, online trading with demo accounts is an effective way to test a potential broker and platform. For example, you can check their software has all the charts and tools you need. In addition, do they offer any useful extras, such as trading contests? So, check the overall quality of the broker's services before you commit real capital.
Strategy.
Calibration - Demo brokerage accounts are the ideal place to fine-tune your strategy. You can make mistakes and adjustments until your plan is consistent, without losing real capital. Because overtrading, cutting profits short and direction bias are all common mistakes that can prove costly if you don't make them in practice accounts first. Forward testing - Once you have a market and strategy in mind, you can either backtest or forward test your trading plan. While backtesting can prove useful, it lacks the emotional element. Forward testing enables you to put your plan to trade stocks, for example, into action while battling trading pressures in real-time. Drawdowns - Regardless of how effective your strategy is, there will be days where the market feels against you. However, investing in a demo account allows you to practice sticking to your plan and perhaps adjusting your position size until things turn around.
Overall, signing up for a demo account in binary or stock options, for example, could give you the ideal risk-free platform to develop an effective strategy.
Drawbacks.
Before you start looking at demo accounts for trading, these practice accounts do come with certain limitations:
Physical Discrepancies.
Execution - Demo accounts often provide better execution than live trading. This is because demo accounts usually fill a market order at the price shown on the screen. However, in a live market, there is slippage. This can result in orders not being filled at the expected price. So, meeting previous profit calculations may prove challenging. Increased capital - Normally, demo software allows you to choose how much capital you would like to trade with. As a result, many individuals opt for far more than they will have when they live trade. Greater capital allows for smaller losses to be more easily recouped. You may also find yourself unable to afford the expensive instruments you explored when using demo accounts. Spreads - Online forex brokers, for example, often look to impress potential traders with tight spreads in demo accounts. However, in fast-moving markets, in particular, the spread quoted may be far wider. Deposits - Although using virtual money, there are some brokers who will require an initial deposit to use their demo accounts. So, this is something to check before you sign up. Leverage - Many traders enjoy the increased leverage some brokers ofter in demo accounts. Whilst this can result in substantial virtual profits, in live-trading it can also lead to significant losses. Deal rejection - In demo accounts, trades almost always go through as requested, regardless of certain factors. However, when live trading, price changes between your trade submission and execution can result in rejection. So, be prepared for re-quotes when you upgrade to live trading. Trading tools - Free charts and packages you get when your trading gold in your demo account may well come at an additional cost when you live trade. Market movements - Your demo account server may not take into account interest and dividend adjustments, or out of hours price movements.
Psychological Discrepancies.
Emotions - Demo accounts will not expose you to the fear, hope and greed that you may experience when you live trade. The fear of losing your capital can result in costly mistakes. Whilst greed can lead to holding onto a winning position for too long. Unfortunately, you cannot practice controlling these emotions with demo accounts. Complacency - Managing risk properly with a practice account is often overlooked. Traders often take more risks than they would if real funds were on the line. This can result in bad habits when you transition to live trading. Overtrading - The excitement of trading can cause many with demo accounts to overtrade. After all, why not take that risk when it isn't real money on the line? This can develop into a habit of overtrading. However, when you move to live trading, you will then need to learn quantity doesn't always trump quality.
To conclude, a comparison of a demo account vs a real live-trading offering will highlight a number of potential pitfalls to take into account.
Yet that does not necessarily mean you shouldn't use demo accounts. It simply means you need to be aware of the risks, so you can prepare for the differences when you do start trading with real capital.
Moving From Demo To Real Money.
You open a demo account as your first step towards becoming a trader. You want to be successful and make real money. So why stop at the demo stage?
It is a common feeling. That fear of losing real money and the lack of belief that you might actually be a profitable day trader.
The same fears held us back to, but until you take that leap, you will never know. Let us guide you in your transition into a successful trader, with our 4 step plan:
Demo To Real Action Plan.
1. Assign Some Capital To Trading 2. Open A Real Money Account 3. Calculate A Trade Size 4. Start Trading!
You already know how to place trades as you have tried it on the demo account. So let us build on each point with some detail;
Assign Some Capital.
You need to set aside some capital. How much is up to you but £250 to £500 is a reasonable minimum, any less limits the number of trades you can make. Trading is high risk, so you need to be prepared to lose some or all of this money. If the minimum deposit at a broker is less than you have, you dont need to pay it all in - just set it aside.
Open A Real Money Account.
You do not have to use the same firm as your demo account, but this will be the easiest transition. Visit the broker page if you want to try someone new for the real account.
Calculate A Trade Size.
How much will you risk on each trade? 1% to 2% is a good conservative number. If you make 50 to 100 trades, you will be well placed to know if you have what it takes to be profitable trader. Any less and you will not know if the results were just good or bad luck. 100 trades starts to separate winners from "unprofitable" traders.
