usa,
Yeah, I actually started out exactly that way. I didn’t want to risk much, so I went with a cent account and a tiny deposit. It’s not about making profits at the start — it’s more about getting used to live trading conditions without the safety net of a demo. Even $10 feels different when you know it’s real money. Later I switched to a standard account once I felt more confident. If you’re curious, you can check out platforms like roboforex - they’ve got cent accounts plus the low entry requirements, so it’s easy to test strategies without stressing about big losses.

Date: 08/09/2025From what I’ve seen, a lot of people prefer to put a small amount at risk first, just to get the feel of market movements with real emotions involved. Even if the numbers are small, the psychological effect of trading your own funds kicks in. And that part often makes a bigger difference than the actual size of the deposit.
Date: 08/09/2025I’ve been curious about these cent accounts and the whole “start with $10” idea. I don’t really want to throw in a big deposit right away, but I’d like to actually feel what trading is like without just using demo mode. Has anyone here started small like that? I’m wondering if a cent account really helps test strategies in a realistic way or if it just feels too limited to get anything useful from it.
