Piptaker,
Use demo until you are confident use the platform like pimp to view the charts and you could still stay with your current broker to submit orders.
I only trade forex , no gold no oil but view them. You know where you want to be a yr from now, 3 yrs from now it's up to you if you take the steps to get you there. Even if you trade $1.00 pip get your 25 pips a day 5 days a week
Thats 125.00 a week that's 6,500 a yr....It's worth it to listen, ask q'ions if you need to drink more coffee than do so
I'm used to the lack of sleep have a 4 month old.
Have a good day and hope to see you in the chat tonight
Matt
