If, after a time, you believe you've found something that works for you, then split your $2500 into really small chunks and commerce micro lots with the first chunk (say $150). InterbankFX, Oanda are places.
Should you blow that first $150, start again with another $150. Learn from your mistakes (one of which will almost certainly be attempting to exchange the news announcements - THIS IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS). If you blow the next chunk, start.
Hopefully, you will have discovered a method which works in real life, rather than demo, before you blow your $2500.
You want to see that trading a mini account with only a small fund produces its own problems in relation to being over-leveraged, and using too high a percent risk profile for each transaction.
Please, please reevaluate your strategy to this, most of us hate to find newcomers making the same mistakes that we've.
