help for a newbie

Thankful to feedback, have been demo trading for some months....and think l am ready to make the leap to live trading.

Can you guys tell me which charting software that is preferred l am currently using metatrader.

Which providers are the best to trade with...l am currently demo trading with fxcorporate.com....charge is 3 pips commission. Is this good or bad.

I generally scalp and have done well in paper trading, are you guys doing ok in the real market, appreciate this might be a sensitive question, guess and looking for reassurance.
