It is a personal decision of course but its been shown that demo accounts have different characteristics to dwell accounts, and a part of the major learning curve would be the physiology of business and trading. Money management is a major effect, if you trade demo for 2 decades and spend your own time and then go live and blow the budget with dread and trepidation, you've wasted your money and 2 decades.
Demo trading for many is a fun pastime.
Live trading is also an investment in time since it will determine a traders capacity.

If you are not profitable with an inexpensive investment re-group and re-think. If you do not enjoy trading live spend your money in another small business.

Is it actually order, or are we being fooled by randomness?

I think I read somewhere that you had not traded yet. If I am correct then please do trade with real cash because before you do it with actual cash you are not feeling the comprehensive trading experience. Your articles are purely academic. It is like trying to learn to drive a car by reading a book, it can't be done. Trading is a skill i.e. it needs knowledge experience

Oh I really don't trade this manner. I use quite low leverage. In fact it's so low that a black swan event won't even increase my blood pressure.... And yet I can double an account in one year, which for me is a lot.

Anyhow, the concept is to utilize the majority of your margin so you can get out after just 20 pips with enormous profits... but yes, you have to be quite exact.
