I'd add to that: margin account, cash even less. The last limit they had was 10k. 25k only applies if you want to trade US Securities without the PDT Rule
I think he is looking for another brokers thats not IB and direct access with > 25k min . I'm not sure if tradestation is direct access ECN, and they have $500 minimum.
Lynx broker is a white Interactive broker that uses interactive broker technologies. It is a European broker. The commissions are more expensive than with IB but the minimum deposit is 3000 €. But the services offered are the same (markets, platforms. ...)
With cash account there is no minimum deposit. You just won't get margin or live data feed which is a headache without a alternative platform.
Yeah they kind of fucked those guys when they reduced min deposit innit? Brokers like Lynx were where the small retail would go. Once you go there and leave subsequently, you will have a 6 month ban switching to IB
