i'm started forex last month using marketiva. once u registered an account u will have usd 5 (real money) and usd 10000 (virtual money).
first few days i'm using virtual money after that i'm using the real money to trade and have earned more than usd 13 for my real money. its a good start for me..
but then wat u all mean by TA, timeframe, metafor...etc...normally i just analyze the chart...
