Hello guys,

I’m interested in learning more about forex, options and futures trading. I heard that there are mini or micro account that can go as little as US$ 200 or 300 dollar. Is it true ?

Also, any recommendations for free forex, options and futures trading simulators ? I know that some websites provide this service but usually the virtual capital is too high (10K or up), and I want to set the initial capital to small amount like US$ 300 or 500.

If possible, is there any recommendations for courses/books ? I’m not aiming for those fancy amount of income, several thousand/month is OK. Of course I’m not looking for courses that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars…
Thanks for the input. I agree that it’s a bit too much to expect thousands of returns for such a small amount of capital.

But, if I expect my capital which is around 300 or 500 to be doubled by around 1-2 month. Doesn’t is sound possible ????
My plan is actually something like this :
The capital will be 300 or 500. The goal is to double the capital by around 1 - 2 mounth(s).
When I have more money, I will buy more lots…

To make it safer, every time I manage to double the previous capital, I will do one more time before I plan to use more capital to trade.

It will be something like this (US$500 capital) :
500 - 1000 - 1000 (don’t use for trading) - 2000 - 2000(don’t use for trading) - 4000 and so on …

Now the problem is to find the system that are able to do this… Any recommendations ?

I personally distrust systems that cost hundreds or thousands or dollars. There are simply too many scams…
