1. You must choose the right broker who offers the account type that meets all your trading goals. The best way to determine if an account is right for you is to open a demo account and practice trading on it to see if it is the right fit. Do not be afraid to open multiple demo accounts with different brokers.
2. Once you are ready to open a live account, you must choose the correct type of account. The most common types of accounts are standard accounts that charge only a spread on each trade, which are the best for beginners.
