A personal finance commentary is warning traders to read 'no minimum deposit' offers carefully. On broker comparison tables, the advertised figure is often the lowest across a broker's account types, meaning the account a trader actually wants may require more. The argument adds that the deposit itself is rarely the first constraint — margin requirements are, noting that at 30:1 leverage, a 0.01 lot EUR/USD position needs roughly EUR 33.

Why now: Traders searching for low-entry forex accounts are being cautioned that advertised minimums understate real costs and margin needs.
