Its good to try forex trading as it is the most happening market currently. fellow members has given you the right suggestions for alpari.

FXCM is also offering some bonus but don't know exactly the amount. If you are interested you can visit them to know what bonus they are offering.
In forex many brokers out there and many platforms but metatrader is by far the most popular one. MT4 offers lots of other boasts not available on other platforms.

Yes you are right meta trader adds feature to your platform but you are wrong they are not the best still a long way to prove. they are far behind of some renowned broker like fxcm and avafx. They always try to be in the market with some strategy launched. Avafx has three account silver, gold and platinum. In silver you require to deposit $100 and get bonus $50 and if you deposit $200 you get bonus $100 by just sending AVAQZ12 to the account representative. in gold account you have $1000 and you get $100 extra and the platinum account can be open with $10000 you get an additional $500 extra. so what do you think which one is great. Surely not metatrader. and they have ava trader as competitive as metatrader and ava auto trading system.
