Trading systems for a newbie

[sniper450]

This sounds excellent!
Why do you want to only invest $500?
You have the proof your friend is trading it and making money
I would say the minimum you should invest is 10,000, even borrow if you have to, use your mothers pension as well if you can

I agree with David, the better for you to trade with a small amount of money to see the result.
I advice you be very careful with trading software.
