I would suggest that demo trading is a second step to start with. Firstly one must learn the basic concepts, terms and know about the basics of forex trading. After that when you start feeling comfortable then you can think of putting that knowledge into practice. Some people do trade on demo simultaneously while learning but it is difficult and everyone cannot do that. So, first learn then demo and then live trading is most suitable process.
Demo trading takes no pain and very little efforts to start. You just need to find a good Forex broker with good trading conditions and start investing your time to the demo trading on different trading instruments.
Once you are sure that the broker is reliable and offers you secure payment & withdrawal options. You will be okay with investing your time & money with them through live trading account.
