Sims are devoid of emotions - The catastrophe of trading a real account.

You can only dabble around with them for so long until you realize their complete uselessness - unable to transition into real world.

Agreed. You will learn much quicker trading with real money.

Agreed. You will learn much quicker trading with real money.
