Starting small: what matters
- Minimum trade size: a low deposit is little use if the smallest lot is large. Titan FX Zero Micro trades from 100 units.
- Negative balance protection: small accounts on high leverage can still go negative. Every broker in this table applies protection except Axi for SVG clients (comparison).
- Withdrawal conditions: Titan FX charges 4% on withdrawals from accounts that have never traded — relevant if you plan a deposit-and-withdraw test.
- Payment methods: see deposit methods for typical minimums and fees.
For even smaller units see cent accounts.
Notes by broker
- XM: $5 minimum, 1,000:1, negative balance protection; XM Global, FSC Belize. → XM deposits
- Titan FX: no minimum on Zero Micro only. → Titan FX deposits
- FXGT: copy trading from $10. → FXGT deposits
- XS.com: XS Ltd (Seychelles FSA SD089); withdrawals typically processed within 24 hours. → XS.com review
- HFM: $0 minimum plus a Cent account, so small balances can still trade small sizes. → HFM deposits
Licence reminder: all of these are offshore entities. You get supervision and a complaints route, but usually no tier-1 compensation scheme.

Frequently asked questions
How little can I start with?
On the brokers' own minimums: nothing at Titan FX, FXGT, XS.com, BigBoss and HFM, $5 at XM. Payment methods may have their own minimums, which is what decides the first deposit at Exness.
Does a small deposit make an offshore broker safe?
It limits what you can lose, but doesn't remove the risk. Use it to test a withdrawal before funding properly.
Can I trade meaningfully with $50?
Yes, on accounts with small lot sizes, as long as positions stay small. Check margin with the [margin calculator](/en/tools/margin-calculator/).
Is a $0 minimum deposit really free to start?
You can open the account without funding it, but every trade needs margin, and a tiny balance leaves almost no room before stop-out. Treat the minimum as the entry ticket, not as a sensible trading balance.
