The moment I realized I was over-leveraging my demo account
I spent 7 months trading on a $10k demo account thinking I was finally consistent. Then a friend in the forum asked me how I'd handle the same setup if my real account was $3k, and I froze. That's when it hit me: I was picking lots and stop-losses based on a fake balance, not my actual nerve. I backtested my last 40 trades with realistic sizing and my win rate dropped from 68% to 41%. Has anyone else caught this gap between demo habits and real money behavior? What did you change first, risk per trade or your whole strategy?
