Default Newbie post - GT-S, Robo, forex brokers

Hey Pipcop - fantastic site!!

I like the discussion around GT-Shadow, and the suggestion to go with RoboMiner first if you're inexperienced (<-- me:new to forex, expience with stocks, commodities).

I set up Robo on an IBFX demo account over the weekend on default settings, and GT-S on Alpari (default settings + Pipcop's recommended settings) just to start fiddling with it to learn. Eventually, I'll put Robo on live. GT-S only when I have a healthy understanding.

I'm also manually trading another demo account just to learn forex trading a bit (with a little success).

Re: learning Robo - Just start playing with the settings and see what happens? Same with GT-S?

A question on forex brokers - it sounds like many forex brokers game their clients (or, at least are somewhat adverse to them). Is this something they **must** do to provide commission free trades, or are they just being greedy? If there's a resource someone could point me to, I'm happy to read up on my own.

Thank you for your patience!
