How to Test My EA on Demo Account but on Live Prices

 

Hi guys, 

I made an EA and back tested it on historic data.

I want to test it in the same demo account but on live real time data to see how it will go if I run it real time.

How can I run it on real time data not on historic data?

I will highly appreciate your support as usual.

Thank you very much

Attach the EA to a chart while logged into your demo account, and let it trade away without risking real money. Don't forget to enable auto trading.

Thanks Ryan, 

How to enable auto trading? Isn't it enabled already as I already back tested?

Sorry, I am a bit new and a bit old not too techie man, but I am trying to learn.

I will appreciate a simple step by step guide.

Thank you very much.
