I will suggest you for Hotforex, try them with demo and if you will like them then open live with them and enjoy 50% bunes
I enjoyed Demoing with them, you can open an account for free of course and trade demo money ) you have nothing to loose try it !
Man have you checked that I have refer before ?
Try CMC Markets, I have tried lots of brokers and their platform is simple with tight spreads. The demo is the same as the live account but without pattern recognition.
i traded for about 8 months with demo account with FXCM. Picked them do to size, NYSE listed, and to be honest didnt really check around. There little adds and name is everywhere. Ive been trading with Live account for 3 months and am at about break even. Im cool with that at the moment.
Couple of suggestions,
- dont worry too much about demo account size, instead view your trading wins/losses in PIPs. THis will keep you from comparing financial amounts. I do this wiht live account too. Keeps it simple with all the currency conversions, etc.
- Find a few trading plans, ideas and styles. Test them. Get to know them and what you do or do not like.
- Journal everything!!! Even in demo, i didnt really get into this until live trading and wish i would have done it prior. I take screen shots of trades, have an spreadsheet that about calculates everything for me, all i need to do is put in pair, swap, open, Stop losses, targets, and closing of trades. It also calculates average Risk Ratio, average Risk in pips, etc, etc…
- Backtest your strategies, look in the past and see if they work, then test it out in real time.
btw, cant stand FXCMs Tradestation, i use other apps, including NetDania for charting, then trade place trades on their platfrom.
Ive been testing demos with other companies, right now with FxClub (forexclub) – mt4 based.
