Frequently asked
Start with money you can afford to lose — $50-200 is plenty. Cent accounts ($5-10) shrink each lot by 100×, so a beginner mistake costs $0.10 instead of $10.
A guarantee your account can’t go below zero during violent moves (like the 2015 CHF flash crash). Without it, you can owe the broker more than you deposited.
