Many traders quit demos because they "don't have real emotions". Paradox: precisely because the demo lacks adrenaline, you make new friends measure the system instead of measuring fear. AurexisLabs recommends using Demo as a laboratory associated with research scanning.
Demo to test what?
- Can the multi-timeframe rule be followed?
- Does stop/size match ATR and liquidity?
- Are you violating your max daily loss?
- Does the Journal have enough detail to make improvements?
Suggested 14-day training schedule
- Days 1–3: Only observe scan + record bias, do not enter orders.
- Days 4–10: planned demo with full invalidation; Maximum 3 setups/day.
- Days 11–14: review win/loss according to setup type; cut weak rule.
If the demo does not keep the rule, the real order will almost certainly break the rule.
Attach demo to news & scan
Each demo setup records: catalyst news (if any), multi-timeframe/Super Scan results, R risk, emotions 1–5. Reference: Scanning instructions, filter news.
After the demo
Go live with a size smaller than your ego. Increase size only when the journal shows a stable rule — not because of a lucky week.
