This is my third evening on the Pocket Option demo, and I’m trying to figure out whether my signals are actually useful or whether I’ve just been lucky a few times. I mainly look at the one-minute chart, mark the levels, and enter only after the candle closes. On historical data, everything looks fairly logical, but when I start watching in real time, I constantly feel tempted to click earlier. As a result, I ruin some perfectly good entries by rushing.
For now, I’m keeping simple notes: the time, direction, why I entered, and how the trade ended. I’ve accumulated around forty attempts over two days, but the sample size is obviously laughably small. I’ve also noticed that after two successful trades, I start allowing myself too much leeway. Has anyone had a similar experience on a demo account? What did you check first—the one specific signal, your discipline, or the entire setup at once? Maybe it makes sense not to move on to live trading for a whole month and simply collect statistics?
