im not a fx trader but i did play around with oanda i feel its pretty good but i there are limitations with the charting applet. I have not tried other brokerages but i know so far oanda u can play 1 pip = $0.10.
local brokerages need high deposit fee. I wanted to sign up for IG markets but im still a student so the only way for a student is to get ur parents sign up and u become the collateral moreover there needs to be gurantee an asset worth at least 100k or more. which i think is crazy
