yes, like many said many brokers offer a way for you to use a “demo” account. Most traders refer to this as paper trading. It gives you the ability to learn about the forex markets without having to use real money.

But it should be stressed that you shouldn’t just even jump into trading even with a demo account without gaining a good solid foundation in learning how to trade forex successfully.

This site offers a great free course in video, teaching you the foundations to forex trading.

I want to create my own Forex trading platform, but don’t know what steps i need to take. I don’t want it to be wide spread or become like a broker where people sign up for it, but trade it with a few select people. Is this even possible ? How can I get my trades into the market ? Would i need a liquidity provider ? What kind of licensing or paperwork do I need ? and finally how much would it cost?…..

I know there are a few brains out there that know about this, any of your input would be greatly appreciated…. or perhaps maybe you know where i can obtain all this information. – Thanks

There’s a free book you can download about trading systems here: http://www.fxsystemscompared.com – maybe that will give you some insight into how they work?
