Resolved Question: What's a decent forex broker which is not a seedy bucket shop but still not to high priced? (Answers: 1) (Comments: 1)

What's a decent forex broker which is not a seedy bucket shop but still not to high priced? I want something that I can start off with with around $500 or so just so I can learn the ropes and make my little trades. I've read warnings about certain forex brokers which are unregulated bucket shops and aren't insured properly either. But are there any decent forex brokers which don't charge terribly high fees but still are decent?
