Is it just me, or do most demo trading platforms feel nothing like real trading? The spreads, the order execution speed — everything seems off compared to live accounts. I’m trying to find a simulator that actually mimics market behavior realistically. Any recommendations for the best demo trading simulators that don’t feel like a video game?

Totally agree with you on that! I also used a few demo accounts that made me feel like a trading genius — until I went live and reality hit. The emotional aspect is missing from most simulators, and that’s what makes live trading so different. I’ve started journaling my demo trades and treating them with real accountability, and it helped a lot with discipline. The idea of using demos that simulate slippage and variable spreads makes a lot of sense — it’s closer to what we actually deal with in the markets.
