Direct Answer
A progression for building chart-reading skill, then replay skill, then execution skill before live capital is involved.
If the chart read is weak, realistic execution just means you are practicing weak reads with fake money.
Build the upstream skill first: reading the chart and committing to a directional call.
Replay becomes more useful once you have a basic recognition process.
Execution practice makes more sense once you can explain what you were trying to read.
