1) The markets you want to trade.
2) The time frames you want to trade, e.g. 5 min, 15 min, 1hr or daily

When you start to trade live, start small first. A lot of brokers give you trading bonus of $100-$200 when you fund a min of $1000 USD. Only when you become more and more profitable then you can consider increasing your funds and capital and create a second source of income for yourself. And also you need to make sure you check the government authority site to ensure that the brokers are regulated as what they claim to be.
