I was initially skeptical about Market4Now when I initially came across it, but turns it turned out to be a solid forex trading platform. It is simple and straightforward, yet their layout is sleek and elegant. They have fantastic trading options with 5 account types to pick from. Their customer care is great and one of their staff called to follow up with some questions I had. $250 for a beginner may be a bit on the higher side, but great experience overall.
