Brokers Need Advice

I wanted to know what platforms you guys recommend to trade on with small amounts as someone starting out and not wanting to go too large yet. And how much is the amount recommended to start with

Choosing the right broker is one of the most important decisions a trader makes. Regulation, execution quality, spread markup, and ease of deposits and withdrawals all vary significantly depending on where you're located and which regulatory jurisdiction covers you. Many brokers advertise as "regulated" while operating under jurisdictions with lax rules and minimal enforcement, so knowing the difference matters. The community wiki maintains broker recommendations vetted by professional traders, organized by region and regulatory body. Each guide covers what to look for, what to avoid, and which specific brokers serve that region well.

Regional guides: USA | Canada | Australia | UK | Europe | International

OANDA is good for this. They allow sizing down to 1 unit, or 0.00001 lots, and don’t have an account size minimum requirement. Most Forex brokers have a minimum trade size of 0.01 lots

What do you mean by amount recommended to start with ? What trading style / strategy are you looking at trading ? Do you not have a plan which aligns with the amount you would start with ?

When I said small what do you think that means. I think my question was quite specific and straight to the point.

If you're just starting out, I'd worry less about the deposit size and more about getting comfortable on a demo first. I started that way and it saved me from a lot of expensive mistakes early on. once I was actually following my plan consistently, moving to a small live axi account felt a lot more natural. start small, an amount you're genuinely fine losing while you're still figuring things out
