Using forex trading software is not as easy as it seems. Sure, most of the software comes with easy installers and user manuals but the experienced traders know that to get the full potential of a system, you have to know some tricks.
First of all, you have to test a forex software on demo account well before installing it on a live account. A sure way to test a system is to let it run for at least a month to evaluate its performance.
Once it’s tested, you can install it and run it with standard settings. But it doesn’t end there. To make the best of it, you have to find the optimal settings and really, the testing never ends. However, you should never test on live account.
Have it running on demo account with experimental settings at all times. Once you find better settings, change them on live account, and continue testing other settings on demo account.
