For new comers in Forex market, Oanda is a good choice. Oanda offers unlimited time to get used to its platform which is not the case with other brokers. You are right.

Easy Forex? Don't think much of them but they may very well be OK for a newbie. I think their platform is kind of targeted towared beginners.

Will they do anything to make me loose money like manipulating my stop loss/trailing stop/limit etc?). I think a bad broker is a guarantee that your funds are 4/5 gone even before you start go live.

I've never used Easy Forex, but of that I can be sure. It would mean you could open a trade then pull all of your money out, leaving no margin to cover the position. No broker will allow you to do that. As for the rest of it, my experience has been that stuff is the norm rather than the exception. The online platform isn't something all brokers have, though.

Oanda is a great broker to start with. Most brober will offer you a short period to get used to their platform but I found that it's the market you should be getting used to and due to the unlimited time to operate a game account with Oanda, it allows you to trade (be it a game) at length until you feel ready to invest some real cash. Once you have some grasp of Forex trading you can always open various demo account to check other brokers' platforms and choose accordingly. As a newbie (3 months) I have to agree with John.
