Well, forex is regulated but not all brokers operate countries that require regulation. Just do your homework before you deposit any money. Forex brokers should have many methods of contact and a proven and established track record. There is money to be made in Forex since it's the largest market in the world. You just have to be very careful and don't let your emotions take over and stick to a clear strategy. There are many brokers that accept very small opening deposits and give traders the ability to trade in micro lots. I would recommend this for you.
Here is a broker that allows all this and also scalping and 6% interest on your balance even if you don't make any trades. They have Metatrader 4 and many currencies, metals, cfd and indexes to trade with. I highly recommend this broker. Good luck.
