I am interested in learning forex but am a novice. I would like to work with a mini broker who offers good software. To me, that means an avoidance of something that depends upon Internet Explorer or installing software that can write DLLs or who knows what to my Windows machine -- I am very paranoid and I prefer Java apps/ What should I look for in software platform? Which broker would you recommend?
I think Oanda works on Java platform. They seem to be a very legit outfit and are probabaly ideal for a begining trader in that you can trade amounts as small as a dollar.
