any kind of approach of trading can be useless if there is no regular level of practice.
Demo account or Micro ?

I personally advocate using both demo accounts and micro-accounts. If you're new to trading, starting with a demo account is a great way to practice and familiarize yourself.
However, it's important not to get stuck in the demo phase for too long. Demo account lacks the real-life emotions and psychological factors involved in live trading. Transitioning to a micro account allows you to experience the actual market conditions, including the impact of risk and real money on your decision-making.

A demo account allows you to practice trading in a risk-free environment using virtual funds. It is an excellent option for beginners who are new to forex trading and want to learn the basics, test trading strategies, and get familiar with the trading platform. Demo accounts are free and offer real-time market conditions, making them a valuable tool for building confidence and gaining experience before transitioning to live trading.
A micro account is a real trading account that allows you to trade with smaller position sizes and lower capital requirements. It is suitable for traders who want to trade with real money but with reduced risk exposure. Micro accounts often have a minimum deposit requirement, and the position sizes are typically smaller than standard accounts. They allow you to experience the real market conditions, manage real money, and practice risk management on a smaller scale.

Undoubtedly, a micro account would be much better for a beginner than a demo trading. Real profits and losses teach much better than virtual ones. However, I never traded on cent accounts. I shifted from a demo account to a real non-cent one. I think it would have been much easier to learn if I had known about cent accounts earlier.
I use a micro account for learning and testing strategies. It's the best way to use it
micro account is really supportive to acquire live knowledge and experience , so its really a necessary thing compare to demo.
If you have no idea about the market and its analysis, no trading strategy, then it is better to start with a demo account. And only then, after creating and optimizing your trading plan there, you can move on to a cent account or a small real account, where there will already be a psychological component in trading and emotions that you will need to learn to cope with without risking big money right away.
the micro's are no joke for a real solid base for trading.
i say even if you can break even trading the micro you can make money on the mini ....
