If you are only planning on despositing 250 to 500 then you definately want to open a micro account. Opening a mini or standard account with 250 or 500 in capital is definately forex market suicide. It wont last long. I've been there and done that. The best micro account broker I have traded with is Oanda. They have no minimum desposit and their spreads are really good. I have read alot of reviews about the spreads going crazy during news time and stopping them out their trades, but I have never had any problems with the spreads. And they do offer withdrawals and deposits via Paypal which is another thing that I like because I use Paypal alot. They do charge a fee though so you need to look into that but its nothing major. The only thing I dont like about Oanda is that they dont offer very high leverages and their platform, to say least, sucks. Their charts suck too but if you want to get free charts that are awesome, then go to Fx Solutions and open up a demo account and download their Fx AccuCharts. Theses charts are awesome. They have everything on them that you will ever need and they are free.
