Why do people do well in demo trading and lose in the real trading?

[Fidelia]

So many people including myself always win big time in demo trading. When we now use our money to trade in real time, we tend to not get the same result with the demo trading as we lose heavily. What is the cause of the disparity in results between demo trading and real time trading?

When we start trading with real money, psychological trauma start talking place. We start to makes moves with anxiety and fear of losing our hard earned money. It is more of psychological problems than wrong trading strategies!

That's because with demo trading they take risks, with real trading they cannot take risk, they trade cautiously and make a mistake of not trading profitable assets and trading with non-profitable assets.

When there are financial stakes involved in the real trading, some people would start to fidget and end up making wrong decisions.

I have also experienced this, but i heard most of the demo accounts are twerked to make it a lot easier than the actual trading, i don't know how true this is though.

I too had experienced that when l first tried out the expert option. I done extremely well on the demo account and performed so bad when l traded with the live account.
