Hi tjheal,
Welcome to T2W.
The site that gustongroves has recommended to you is a subscription based site - of which there are literally thousands to choose from on the net. As a general rule of thumb, the more alluring the name of a site is, the more likely it is to be total pants. Some people will claim on these get rich quick sites that they do exactly what they say on the tin. Believe if you will, that in a few short weeks (or less), you'll be making the kind of money that sado's like me only ever get to dream about. Suffice it to say, I won't hold my breath. I've been trading (on and off) for over six years now and have spent countless hours on sites that promise the holy grail and I'm yet to find one that even comes close to delivering on that promise. So, I've stopped looking. Of course, it is just possible - although highly improbable - that you have hit the jackpot on the second site that you've visited. Actually, you've already hit the jackpot right here on T2W - but it doesn't look that way because it's camouflaged in hard work and effort. I know, what a bummer!
In my not inconsiderable experience of trading related websites, those that offer short cuts to profits almost invariably do the exact opposite by lengthening the learning curve and costing you both time and money. They deflect you from the only true path to success in trading and fill you with false hope and false promises which leads, inevitably, to disappointment and failure. How do you avoid such disappointment and failure? Well, truth be told, in this game you can't. What you can do is minimise the number of disappointments and failures by investing in yourself rather than in some fairy tale fantasy that someone else holds the magic keys to the kingdom and is willing to let you in for £20.00 a month. Investing in yourself means acquiring the skills and knowledge to play the game yourself according to your own rules and beliefs, whilst obeying those of the market. If you elect to go down this route, start by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking on 'Trading FAQ'. Your question about brokers - and lots of other things besides - is answered there.
Enjoy!
Tim.
