Showerthought: I finally tried a broker's 'demo account' for real

For years I'd just open a demo, click around for five minutes, and then fund my real account. Last month, I forced myself to trade the demo on TradingView for a full two weeks like it was my own money, tracking every move. I lost 22% of the fake balance. The platform was fine, but I learned my own strategy was the problem, not the broker's tools. Has anyone else actually stuck with a demo long enough to learn something embarrassing about themselves?

Learned my own strategy was the problem" hits way too close to home.

Yeah @jade240, that's basically adult life.
