I've been spooked.

Hi,
I'm a green newbie, I've been mucking around on Plus 500 until about a week ago when I finally stopped getting free spins off them, since I started getting into trading about 2 months ago I was trying to copy trade off you tube videos to see what type of trading might work for me. Eventually I decided that this (The Forex Guy's course) would be the best option.

So I opened an account with Go Markets and have been reading through the Price Action Course, but a couple of days ago I read another newbies thread in this forum on what a flash crash had done in the past. I google searched a few times, but I think I need clarity from someone with access to this forum who practices this specific price action method with Go Markets, that understands where I might be at with my concern. I keep trying to push forward but it's freaked me out.

Please no comments from novices even though I appreciate your opinion.

Also, new here.
Can someone also elaborate about witch markets are better to start off with?

Thanks

Forex majors are less likely to be erratic from what I've learned so far. As for my query I looked into it more and it's obvious the risk exists but I'm pretty sure it's highly unlikely a good broker will encounter serious slippage. In GO Markets disclaimer they say something like 'the next best price' there's also something I read about circuit breakers doing something. If it was all that much of a deterrent though then why would so many intelligent people not be deterred?
