The formal minimum

From $100 (from $1 on invest.mt5 in some regions). Account types: Trade.MT5, Zero.MT5, Invest.MT5, Trade.MT4, Zero.MT4. The minimum is the threshold at which the broker opens an account, not the amount at which trading makes sense.

The real minimum for your risk

Risk 1% per trade, and that 1% must be at least the cost of 0.01 lot at your stop. On EURUSD with a 30-pip stop, 0.01 lot costs $3, so the deposit should be $300 or more. With a 50-pip stop, $500. On a cent account the threshold is a hundred times lower, which is why we point beginners there.

Calculate it for your instrument and stop in the position size calculator.

What else eats a small deposit

Spreads and commissions (Trade from 0.5 pips; Zero from 0.0 + commission from $1.8 per lot per side), swaps on held positions, and payment-provider fees. On a $10 deposit one trade can cost a percent of the account before price moves at all.

Where to start small

Cent accounts are available at Vantage and VT Markets from $50.
