about open an account to do forex

I have been with Marketiva for more than two years now. i think it is the most user friendly trading platform that i have used so far online. Beside forex they also offer funds (Asiasset, Brasillion, Columbus, Constantine, Indiamond, Nippon, Yangtze) , commodities (Gold, Palladium, Platinum, Silver), and indexes (DAX, Dow Jones, FTSE 100, Nasdaq 100, S&P 500) trading. Wide range of flexibility you can opt to trade in marketiva. If you are still unfamiliar with them just register and download the platform its all free. In fact you are given $1000 practice money where you use to trade virtual trading and also $5 real money for you to experience the live trading. I recommend for beginners who want to learn and practice in forex Marketiva is the place. If you want to trade big money maybe you should look for InterbankFX, Interactive Brokers, FXCM, ACM, DukasCopy they all accept minimum of $2500 in deposit.

I think its reliable, but i havent gained enought o get money yet. Marketiva has some very good spreads, so gains are fairly easy. But the withdraw fee is quite high, i guess to encourage people to trade bigger sums of money. I suggest you try however, i find it great fun. I'm looking into Forex for months now and i am sure that in a few more i'll be able to actually make some money out of it. Just play safe and everything will be ok. Open a MArketiva account or a demo account with some other broker and practise until you are able to get the simulated money to rise at will. Then try with real money.
