A trading guide has to say plainly when someone is paid for referrals, and those terms are published rather than implied, so the reader's next question is answered on the introducing-broker and partner terms page.

To trade with Startrader from India: open and verify an account (or start on the free demo), fund it from around $50 via UPI, bank transfer or card, then log in to MetaTrader 4/5 or WebTrader. Choose an instrument from the 1,000+ available, set the lot size, add a stop-loss and take-profit to control risk, and place a buy or sell order before monitoring and closing the position.

Steps to place your first trade

Open and verify an account (KYC), or start on the free demo with virtual funds to practise first.
Fund the live account from around $50 on the Standard (STP) account using UPI, bank transfer or card.
Install MetaTrader 4/5 or open WebTrader, then log in with the trading account number and password.
Pick an instrument from the 1,000+ available (forex pairs, indices, metals, commodities or share CFDs) and open its chart.
Set the trade size in lots, add a stop-loss and take-profit to manage risk, then place a buy or sell order.
Monitor the open position and close it manually or let the stop-loss / take-profit close it automatically. CFD and forex trading carries a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage, and most retail accounts lose money.

Anyone reading a how-to should therefore examine the Indian regulator's investor warnings and study the structure of the global currency market before treating any method as settled.
