Trading the news??? I have been practicing for the past 6 months and would like to move on and begin trading 'real' monies.

The problem is that I want to find a broker that 1.) will allow me to open an account with a relatively low deposit, 2.) allow me to place straddle trades so that I can trade the news, and 3.) offer 'mini lot' trading options.

The second criteria is more important to me than the other two. I have been lurking in these forums for the past several months and so far everyone strikes me as being intelligent people so I look forward to all of your opinions.

Thanks again and happy trading!

Well try a demo with IBFX or Oanda ( google please )
But let me say that on the long run, trading with this method MIGHT not give you a happy ending.
Good luck

Demo trading is not the same with real trading, especially for trading news. Be careful!

Especially because when demo trading nearly every platform I have heard of will give you a perfect fill during a fast moving market. This is NOT the case when you open a live account.

In all honesty its a cheap move by the broker to fool people into believing that their execution is solid when more often than not it is lacking.
