Hi all

Anyone recommend a decent micro account vendor. Looking to open an account from the UK wth limited funds to start the learning curve and instill some discipline in forex trading and possibly Gold/silver, so need something with a small enough lot size to allow a few learning mistakes before busting the account.

I've had a look at using MT4 and would like that available if possible but need a web platform to be able to access at work for trades as well during the day.

I've had a look at FXCM but doesn't appear to have a web platform? Also had a look at AFX Capital and Alpari UK which seem to fit the bill, anyone had any experience of these?

Thanks in advance

If you really want, a really, really small account.

You can start with OANDA
No minimum deposit
You can even deposit $1 to trade with

Leverage is 50X though.
But I'm not a fan of leverage though, cause 50X is enough for the MM% risk that I'm using.

Had a look and think I'll give go markets nano account a go to get started. Should be good to test out a few ideas without too much risk of bankruptcy.
