To start trading, I recommend to learn more about forex seriously, after that use your new understanding of it in a demo account. Once completely understand and master the demo account, you must choose a trusted broker and is good for newbie like instaforex example. Most brokers use MT4 platform and will be updated with MT5. Study the first platform that is used by your broker. Once understood, start trading with leverage 1: 1000 or 1: 500 and choose a pair of small spreads. Good luck.
