SIMULATED TRADING

Simulated trading will help prepare you for real-time trading experience through a better understanding of the mechanics of trading your system as well as familiarizing you with proper order placement, so crucial to successful trading. However, George Angell wrote, in Floor Trader's Confidential Handbook [1987], "Paper trading leads to bad habits. It is destructive to establishing winning strategies." There is some truth to that because you will learn from your mistakes much faster when real money is lost. However, how long can you afford losing cash before having nothing left to trade? It is therefore best to err on the side of caution and preserve your cash, because when its gone, you are out of the game.
