I tried opening a ninja account and then I thought I had to sign up to their brokerage because they wanted login details. Does that mean I can just use the simulator details from any brokerage? Also when I go on Alpari MT4 I can't see any capital and the data seems to be historical.. did I get the wrong version like a backtester or something?

I probably should have been more specific but what I meant was the simulator I used was just in a browser and it froze up alot and didn't load the charts sometimes. What you have said was very helpful and I guess I am looking for a good place to analyse and then an easy platform to manage my trades on. I am really just looking for something without any frills that I can use intuitively. Is there not a good platform that I can both analyse and execute on?

Dear forum, I have researched theory and traded a simulator on investopedia on and off for about 2 years now. I traded forex only and was profitable over a long period of time but am now looking to transition into some more grown-up software. I am interested in Forex and indecies and I trade in a very simple way. I am willing to give anything a shot and look at some new products too. I am hoping to trade for real this summer once my uni exams are over so transitioning into a demo software for the brokerage I intend to use would be ideal right? I have a spread-betting account with Barclays with £0 in it but I was thinking of using IG instead as I heard they have tighter spreads/better platform. I am from England. Any reccommondations would be greatly appreciated.
