Demo trading?

Hi ladies and gents, I’m a complete newbie to this and I have only just started researching Forex, so maybe
this is premature. Are there any demo trading platforms that are recommended? I definitely do not want to
trade for real, still I would like get a feel for it. Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks

Every (well, 99% of them) broker offers a demo account.
So pick a broker you’re comfortable with and open a demo with them until you’re ready to proceed to a live account.
This has the advantage of already being used to the broker you’ll work with later.

Try using the ‘Cyber Search’ of 100 Forex Brokers; it allows you to search for brokers using various search criteria.

Great thanks, I’ll google them then.

Google?
No need to, if you use the Cyber Search … each result will provide a direct link to the broker’s website.
Once you have decided on a list of half a dozen or so, you might want to check out some reviews of the brokers.
This can be done using ForexPeaceArmy, Forex Factory, and ReviewPips, among others.

The following brokers are all excellent (in my opinion of course), and all of these brokers permit to open a demo account:

  • ACM (Advanced Currency Markets)
  • Alpari (UK)
  • AvaFX
  • CMC Markets
  • CitiFX Pro
  • FXCM
  • FXDD
  • FXOpen
  • FXcast
  • FairQuote Securities
  • Finotec

I hope you can get started on the right foot
Bye bye

I’d like to add

Dukascopy
Pepperstone

to the list above.
They are the two best ECN brokers, I guess.
