First forget about forex and spreadbetting you need to trade futures, specifically the e mini S&P, the Eurostoxx and the German Bund. Go to FXPro.com and get an MT4 demo account for free. I know this is primarily a forex platform but they also give you a few futures contracts to play with, you can demo trade the S&P and Eurostoxx with them, though not the bund.
Unfortunately most futures brokers will only give you a demo account for a limited time, FXPro's one doesnt expire so you can keep going for months without having to go to another broker for a demo. Its not perfect but its a good place to start. You can move on later to something like Global Futures or Velocity Futures.
Study support and resistance, PIN bars and other candle formations and the news (like I explained earlier) and never pay anyone in this business for training or software. Most vendors are crooks or something approaching crooks.
That would be a start.
