We have to separate Activtrades minimum trading sepositand trader's minimum trading deposit.

The first is $500 no less. Which is quite a substantial amount if you think about it. Especially for the newcomers of the market.

However if you compare Ativtrades conditions with the industry rivals, you will realize that it's a bargain actually. Cuz the number of high-class services assumes some payments. In addition this sum of money would give access to trading some peculiar instruments, like Bitcoin. As bitcoin has low leverage and high price, which requires considerable margin.

Concerning the trader's minimum deposit it's kinda an individual thing that everybody has to decide on their own.

I would recommend to allocate the sum of money that you are comfortable to lose. So that the trading process wouldn't become suffering.
