I just read through it all first but that’s just the way I am. For charting I like metatrader, it has a low learning curve, easy to learn in other words. and good graphics color indicators etc. I just opened a live account with Oanda and don’t like their online charting window. Not as good as metatrader. I haven’t tried any others.
that’s my opinion anyway.
also if you are like me and new and just learning, I recomend IBFX demo account just because it does not expire and some others do. only thing I don’t like about it is they don’t let you place a pending order closer than 30 pips to the current price.
i played about OANDA just didnt like it at all so i went with Alpari (UK) no probs been with them a few months soon ta open a live account keep ya trading simple and ya will get results good luck guys…
