Question : Demo vs Live accounts.

[danielss1]

Hi,

I always see people make comparisions between demo and live accounts with regards to the EA's. Is there some sort of difference between them? as far I can tell the Demo account is supposed to be exactly the same as a Live account, or do the Brokers give you 'favorable' settings on the demo account and then screw you on live?

If you read the terms and conditions, there are a few brokers who actually admit that the trading experience with a demo account is actually altered to give a better experience.
