Am new. What now?

 

Am a newbie.

Downloaded SW.

Asked me to setup account. Don;t want to put any real money at risk until I have some experience. Did not setup account. Don't know what to do. No (obvious) help screens for newbies. No hand-holding apparent. What to do?

 
Open a demo account and download MetaTrader. Then trade in real time on demo money. If you want to code indicators / EA's, then there is a book...

Work out your strategy, test it in demo (heavily) and then switch to live account when you are comfortable.

Good luck

The account that the s/w was asking you to set up was a demo account.
Don't start getting paranoid until you're asked for your bank or credit card details :-)
