When to move to a live account
Consider switching to a live account when:
You've been consistently profitable on demo for at least 1–3 months
You understand risk management and position sizing
You have a written trading plan
You're comfortable with the MT5 platform
We recommend starting with a cent account as your first live account to bridge the gap between demo and full-size trading.
