Firstly, would like to say what a great site this is and how much information ive obtained from it.
So ive done the school of babypips and i want to start demo trading. Thing is, i would have a clue where to go from here… ie - do i download a program ike metatrader and join a broker that provides demo accounts?
any help that can point me in the right direction would be great
The best thing for you to do is to read through some broker recommendations and decide which broker you’d like to deal with. Then, open a demo account with them, as that will get you used to their platform before you trade live.
You can find broker recommendations all over the forums.
Oanda is good, as mastergunner said. They also have no minimum account balance and you can trade micro lots if you don’t have a lot of money to start with.
