Default So I\'ve bought my first book..

I bought an introductory book on currency trading - "Getting Started in Currency Trading".

I have no experience whatsoever in this area, and plan to open a mini-account with $100 or so, and dabble whilst working my way through the book. I live in the UK, and was wondering what online trading software comes recommended. I'm playing around with "FX Trading Station" at the moment, but am curious as to if there's one that's considered better or standard for this area. Any advice or comments, guys?

Ringo

If you fish around, you'll find the major FX brokers all offer 30 day trials with "free play" accounts.

I recommend you signup for a few of them, before putting your money to work, and settle on an interface that you like. PIP spreads are also important.

I've heard several people recommend FCXM.
