It depends what you want to trade, your education, whether you want to put up money or not---- however, to get a real taste ET sponsor Top Step Trader has a good program for rank noobs--- but I am uncertain if they offer true education or just rehash the old stuff. surf

I am a student and want to start trading.
My starting capital is 1000 - 2000 EUR.

If you're in Europe then spread betting could be a good way to start.

I started a forex account with 1000 euros in Oanda,
Its really good broker because you can make your position size really small which is good so that you wont blow up your account by taking too much risk

Well I traded binary before but i'm very unhappy with it. I think forex is much more interesting but i need a little training. I'm looking for a broker that can trade with me. thanks

Have you tried www.nadex.com as a binary dealer? There's no edge in FX on the retail level---

I think someone mentionned last year on ET that retail forex edge was into the leverage.
What do you think of this statement?

I don't consider leverage an edge.

I don't consider leverage an edge.

I udnerstand you are saying that leverage can't be considered as one form of leverage for retail traders.
What do you consider as an edge? for what type of traders?
