Minimum deposit banners are easy to like. They are a funding rule, not a risk rating. Some regulated names start near a few tens or a hundred dollars. Some require more. Neither number tells you if you can get the money back out.
Small deposit, same product
Leveraged CFDs can still wipe $100 as cleanly as $10,000 if the lot is too big. Use the pip value and position tools to see what a move costs in account currency. Then read leverage and margin so you do not confuse “allowed” with “sensible”.
Check the entity before you fund the minimum
A tiny door on a clone site is still a clone. Verify the company: register search. If the live form names a different firm than the ad, believe the form.
The useful sequence
- Register search.
- Demo the ticket.
- Fund the minimum you can afford to have stuck in KYC for a while.
- Request a small withdrawal before you add more.
Withdrawal policy still matters more than the deposit button — how to read it. For a first account, see beginners checklist.

Common question
Can I trade forex with $100? Some firms allow it. You still need a stop you will honour and a size that survives a wide print. A small minimum is not a green light to max leverage.
