Just to clarify, Random: I am not advising you to start trading FX. Retail fx is just the one example i already knew where you can get so much leverage as to trade with a small amount of capital. I was just wanting to expand your post into a larger conversation about building up trading capital... My question below, was looking to start a list (2 suggestions so far including my own), of places people can trade with a lot of leverage... Best- I'd like to expand the topic a little bit too, maybe to give some people in a similar situation some ideas -- My question is: Does any one have any ideas for products and particular brokers that one can get into for VERY LITTLE minimum capital... Not just limited to FX, but possibly mini commodities, or Futures as Random is talking about... etc. ...?
this may be a possible firm, with reputable clearing, requiring very low margin on derivatives, FX, and futures... http://www.liverpooltrading.com NOTE i have never used, just seeing low rates on their site; wanting to add this to the discussion
